Maria, if you’re comfortable with basic hand tools, it’s a straightforward project to install the Cam-Action Lockable Door Latch For Trailers # M363FR. You’ll bolt the keepers to the frame, mount the handle bracket on the door, and align the rods top and bottom. The biggest step is making sure everything is square so the rods seat into the keepers smoothly. No bending or welding is required - it’s all pre-formed and ready to go! You may want to add a padlock though # TMX64QR.

Do you want me to run you through a step-by-step before you start?

And for others who’ve tackled this job, what install tips made it easier for you?
