Question:
Hello, I have a 1998 Featherlite horse trailer, and I need a new side door latch. The dimension of the opening are: 51/4 x 53/4. Do you have a latch that will fit those dimensions?

Hey James! The closest option we have is the Bauer Products Camper Door Lock # BA65FR you were looking at. This fits cutouts that are 5-1/4" wide x 4-1/2" tall. Since your cutout is taller you will have to fill it in with some wood or other material. It won't take much since the face of the latch measures 6-7/8" wide x 5-1/2" tall so it will cover most of the opening.

Hey James, how did the Bauer camper door lock work out on your Featherlite trailer after you filled in the taller cutout? Knowing how that fit turned out could help others with older trailer doors.
