Use this low-profile hook-and-keeper door holder to keep your trailer door open while you're loading and unloading. Zinc-plated steel construction resists corrosion and lasts longer than plastic holders. Mounting screws not included.The initial part I received was broken. I sent an email expressing concern and just received a generic response. It appears that my 1st email went to the wrong address. I received a follow up email and etrailer sent a replacement with no questions asked.
I replaced an existing door keeper and this one matched the holes perfectly. I don't know if it is alignment or the angle of the door but sometimes the hook does not want to drop right into the keeper.
The part works and I did get great support from etrailer once I got to the right person.
Excellent product. Quick delivery. Outstanding tracking site. I have a V-nose trailer so I had to do a simple modification to the hook in order to mount the latch to the trailer. Rivets were used to secure the hardware to the trailer. Excellent product and service.
Holds door open during loading. Just what I wanted. Extra bonus, the moving part of the latch is spring loaded wo it stays flat when not in use and it does not rattle, or get in the way.
They work fine, will not break like the cheap plastic ones.
Great product. Great company...used it to hold outswinging shed door to 2x2 post..works great !!!
Wayne W - 05/31/2020Perfect fit to replace my rusted 12 year old door hold. I had to bend the arm to match the bend in my OEM parts.
The service was great, quick shipping and good communication. The hook and keeper are exactly what I was looking for.
It was exactly the part I needed for my trailer. I didn’t need to drill new holes It fit perfectly. It was delivered in a timely fashion. Thanks etrailer. You are my go to every time.
Received the trailer door hooks & keepers. Everything went on without a hitch. My entrance door and escape door will now stay open. The latches are built well and should last a long time. I placed clear stone guard under the hook so it will not mark the trailer sides while traveling down the road.
Purchased as a replacement part. Very pleased with the quick delivery. Back in business
These door keepers are exactly what I ordered. They are cad plated and I expect them to last a long time. The hole pattern matches the old crazed plastic ones, so that will save me some time.
Eric C - 10/25/2020Super fast delivery! Excellent item (RV door catch)
Made of steel & very strong compared to the original plastic one that most RVs come with. Easy to install & looks NICE!
Used product on cargo side door used 3M tape to attached bracket with arm to trailer, the other to door...works very well.
I put this door hook and keeper on my horse trailer that has one heavy rear door in hopes that it would hold it open in the breezy conditions here. Unfortunately, the first time I tried it out, the wind took the trailer door and blew it completely open, crushing the keeper. I tried to pry it out with a screwdriver but it's pretty much unusable. It would probably work with a lighter, smaller door.
I bought two double wheel covers and they went right on without a fight.
I bought a couple of baggage door catches as the old were sun beaten and cracked. they went on using the same screw holes, perfect match. I bought a steel version of the old plastic hook and keeper door catch, which the sun had rotted. the bolt holes lined up tighter then the old holes which were stripped. The screws are not stripped now. I bought the Camco cam lock to replace the missing one on my heater door. It works like brand new. I haven't mounted the door lock yet.
Bought this to replace the original one that fell apart on my 24' Haulmark car hauler. This one is better built and has a little bit larger mounting bracket on the arm mount side, which also allowed me to anchor it better. The receiver end of my old one was still mounted on the door so I reused that part. Don't think this one will fall apart anytime soon.
This door stop really does the trick, good heavy duty metal construction. Replaces the cheap plastic one that was on the trailer in the first place. Would buy from again!
I just finished installing the door latches I purchased. They were installed on a 1976 Fairmont MT-19 railroad motorcar. The rear side panels of the cab were originally bolted to the frame making them stationary. This made the cab pretty cramped and on hot days, provided limit air circulation. I remounted the panel on a long piano hinge to allow the panels to be opened like a door and swung back towards the rear of the cab. The latches are used to hold the panels open in nice weather.
The latches work beautifully and look much more professional than using bungee cords to hold the "doors" open. I have some of your spring bolts on order that will be used for locking to panels in the closed position. Thank you!
Good and sturdy as I was hoping it would be. I painted it white to match siding on trailer where I installed it to make it more appealing. It replaced a plastic OEM type that cracked too easily. Yep it did what I wanted it to do.
I was looking for a product to keep the side door open, while I am loading-unloading my enclosed trailer. It perfectly meets my need on a very reasonable price. The only additional work I had with it to make it fit perfectly was to bend the latch , so it moves easily in the lock. I can definitely recommend this product.
Replaced the flimsy and weak door holder with the Trailer Door Hook & Keeper # 383400. It works great in any kind of wind. The same type of latch came standard on another trailer I own and the only difference was a spring that keeps the latch from bouncing when not in use. Very good price and easy to install with pop rivets.
These door latches are much more substantial than the cheap plastic variety that came as standard equipment on my Utility Trailer.
Ronald - 06/01/2017received the product in 4 days-fit like a charm-had looked all over at multiple places and this replacement fit the predrilled holes for my p/u camper. All others would have required new holes or enlarging the existing hole. Great because dimensions were included on description of the product. Cost was 5 times cheaper than the so-called national rv leader
Thx for your service and product.

These are great. I used to use bungee cords hooked to the trailer tire to keep the doors open on my mobile ATM business. These are so much better and look more professional.
