Keep your caravan, motorhome or trailer door open with this compact T-style mechanical door holder. The two-piece, spring-loaded catch uses a stainless T-arm and keeper bracket to hold an open door without a bulky magnetic stay.
Is this the right door holder?
This is a surface-mounted door hold-open catch, not an entry-door lock. Before ordering, check that your open door aligns with a suitable mounting point on the caravan wall and compare the dimensions and hole spacing below. Fitment is not universal.

Installation guidance

- Check for wiring, plumbing and structural supports behind both mounting surfaces.
- Mark and drill only after confirming the supplied dimensions against your vehicle.
- Use fasteners and sealant appropriate for the door, wall construction and exterior environment.
- Test the catch gently before relying on it to hold the door.
Mounting fasteners are not identified in the current product record. Select suitable hardware for your specific caravan or RV construction. Do not use the holder as a security lock or rely on it to restrain a door in strong wind.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a caravan door lock?
No. It is a door holder designed to keep a compatible door open. It does not secure the entry door for travel or security.
Will it fit my existing mounting holes?
Fitment depends on your current hole spacing and mounting surfaces. Compare both mounting plates with the measurements above before ordering.
Can it replace a magnetic caravan door catch?
It may be a suitable mechanical alternative when there is enough space for the 120mm arm and both mounting plates. Confirm alignment and clearances first.
Is it suitable for coastal use?
The visible components are specified as 304 stainless steel. Regular rinsing and cleaning are still sensible in salty or coastal conditions.
