Could that title be any clumsier?

Anyway,

Saw these funky things of a Concorde Credo Emotion today and as I need a door holding open catch thingy for my Tribute I thought they're just the very thing!





The catch is held flat back against its mounting surface by a spring, the whole thing looks quite robust. The catch slots into the "T" in the base plate, there's a spring latch to release it - neat bit of engineering.

The questions are:

1. Who makes them?
2. Where can I get them from?
3. Can they be mounted on a GRP body like the Tribute T-620?
4. Do the catches come in various lengths to suit your needs?

Try your nearest truck spares place as they fit the same thing to trucks and will probably be cheaper from them than a caravan/motorhome supplier.

Thanks for the link, they do look a bit flimsier than the ones I saw, I'd have to do a physical comparison - this is the problem with being an engineer of course.

We had those on our previous MH's, the wind would take them whereas this design would hold - the only misgiving I have is whether the GRP structure can take it.

The lock we have is a fixed one and does not give even under the strongest wind unless you release a secure switch. Will post a picture tomorrow if it would help?

Very cheap and safe.

Just found out it called a lever lock.
