Will the Lock Side-Door Bar Lock Assembly Fit Over a Door Latch

Question:

Will this cam bar/lever go over the RV style handle on a side door enclosed trailer? When the lever is brought over to close

That would depend on several different factors such how much the door sticks out away from the trailer and how much the handle sticks out away from the door. However, if you do run into clearance issues you can always install a spacer on the hinge for the Lock Side-Door Bar Lock Assembly part # 305736 which you can see in the attached photo. We don't carry these spacers but I am certain you would find something at your local hardware store.

Unfortunately, there wouldn't be a way for me to tell you exactly whether or not the latch would clear your handle without exact measurements which will be hard to obtain accurately.
