Can the Bauer Products Door Lock Be Used on a Left Side Handle Door?
Updated 11/03/2025 | Published 01/04/2025
Question:
My door is on the drivers side of the trailer. So the hinges or on the left side of the door. Latch is towards the backside of the trailer. So the door swings on the left side. Will this latch work for a left swinging door?

Yes, it will and thanks for the picture! You'll just need to flip the Bauer Products Door Lock for Horse and Utility Trailers item # BA63FR 180 degrees. So you'll mount it upside down from the pictures with the key at the top not the bottom.
The Baur Lock item # BA63FR fits cutouts measuring 2-3/4" x 3-3/4" and doors that are 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" thick. I have linked a review video below so you can see the features of this lock demonstrated.
