Question:

Hi there, we have a Hawk brand horse trailer and the rubber door retainers dont hold the door open when the wind blows. See pictures attached. Is there a heavy duty one other than the hook and keeper style? Thanks.

Expert Reply:

Thanks for the photo, and the best option for a door retainer that is stronger than a rubber door retainer is the plunger and socket style, which are more heavy duty and will allow your door to stay open while the wind blows. This style has gotten really good reviews from our customers who have used them, including their use on horse trailers.

You just need to find the one with the correct length for your trailer.
