Expert Reply:

The Cam-Action Lockable Door Latch w/ 36" Pipe for Enclosed Trailers - Zinc Plated Steel # 305736 is going to be a great choice for a wood enclosed trailer door. The latch and hasp can be mounted in virtually any orientation so it can be used for really any door style. The pre-installed pipe makes it an easy bolt on install and it can be locked with any standard padlock. Keep in mind that hardware is not included. We recommend using 5/16 carriage bolts, nuts and washers.
