Can 55" Side-Door Bar Lock Assembly be Used on Rear Trailer Doors
Updated 12/22/2025 | Published 10/07/2024
Question:
Is the 55 long trailer lock good for rear doors or only side doors? My enclosed trailer has two rear 55 locking bars but the description on your item says that it is for side doors

Hey Brett,
Yes, you can use the Side-Door Bar Lock Assembly - 55" Long # 3057-55 on the rear doors of your trailer. It just says side doors because those are oftentimes not quite as long as the rear doors, but this assembly is perfectly acceptable to use on rear doors.
