Question:
My side entry door is only 1-1 1/16” thick , can I use a 1 1/4-1 1/2” latch like the Bauer one or is there a special one? My trailer didn’t come with one but I wanted to put one in so we can get in and out from inside as now we only have the outside pole style?

Hey Michael! I have a solution for you but the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit item # 295-000019 and our comparable options won't fit on any doors thinner than 1-1/4". Instead, you'll want to use the Full Size Locking Steel Flush Door Latch item # L3980 and the item # 4PLSP so you can open it from the inside.

Hey Michael, how did the Full Size Locking Steel Flush Door Latch and inside knob work out for your side entry door? Your update could make it easier for others with thinner trailer doors to find the right fit.
