Latch secures trailers

Recessed door latch for trailers, caravans and other RV applications has two keylocking options - one for the paddle that actuates the slide bolt and one for an additional deadbolt.

The Entree door latch from Southco is for travel trailers, fifth-wheel trailers, horse trailers, caravans and other RV applications.

The recessed latch has two keylocking security options - one for the paddle that actuates the slide bolt and one for an additional deadbolt.

A durable die-cast design provides robust performance in a compact package with a sleek contour that is compatible with aerodynamic RV designs.

It is available in three finishes - polished chrome or a black or white ultraviolet-stabilised powder coating - to complement most exterior colour schemes.

The basic latch design is available in two formats - standard keylocking and keylocking with no lockplugs for users who wish to provide their own lockplugs.

Paddle handles provide ample grip for entry and exit, while the slide-bolt provides slam-shut convenience.

An optional deadbolt can be engaged or disengaged by a manual lever on the interior of the latch or a keylock on the exterior face.

Provided with a matching mounting plate, strike plate and all fastener hardware, the latch installs in minutes, using a single rectangular hole cut through door panels from 34.9 to 38.1mm thick.

Simple panel preparation, quick installation and a low net-installed-cost make it an economical alternative for RV manufacturers, even on entry-level models.
