Generic Trailer & RV Lift Gate Latch Kit — 2-Piece Silver Galvanized Iron Replacement (8.27") with Catch Plate

These two utility lift gate latches are durable, galvanized-iron handles designed to secure and operate trailer, RV, and camper gates reliably.

Built as aftermarket replacement parts, this 2-piece latch kit includes the pull latch and a matching catch plate sized to fit most trailers, RVs, caravans and camper vans. Finished in silver, each latch measures about 8.27" x 1.57" x 1.18" and is constructed for strength and long service life. The design gives you a straightforward mounting pattern with pre-drilled holes for screw attachment or the option to weld for a permanent bond.

How does this latch improve gate security and function?

The latch provides a positive mechanical hold to keep lift gates and rear doors closed during travel. Its high-hardness galvanized iron resists deformation and maintains clamping force under vibration and load, reducing the chance of accidental opening.

• Galvanized iron construction for strength and corrosion resistance
• Pre-drilled holes for secure screw mounting or weld points for permanent fit
• Compact footprint (8.27" x 1.57" x 1.18") fits common gate frames
• Includes a matched catch plate to complete the closure system

Is installation straightforward for DIY users?

Yes — the latch is designed for simple installation with common tools. You can fasten it using screws through the provided holes for a reversible setup, or weld it if you prefer a more permanent, tamper-resistant solution.

• Mount with standard screws or bolts through pre-drilled holes
• Weld points available where a permanent bond is desired
• Compatible with typical trailer gate frame thicknesses
• Comes as a ready-to-fit pair: latch plus catch plate

What makes these latches durable in outdoor and mobile use?

Durability comes from the galvanized finish and the use of high-hardness iron, which together defend against wear, bending and rust in road and outdoor environments. The kit is engineered to retain shape and function through repeated cycles of opening and closing.

• Galvanized coating reduces surface corrosion
• High-hardness iron resists impact and deformation
• Precision-formed parts minimize play and increase longevity
• Aftermarket part backed by a one-year warranty

Will this fit my camper, caravan or RV?

The latch is intended as a universal-style replacement for many trailer, camper and caravan gates, but you should confirm the dimensions and mounting requirements against your existing hardware. Measure the latch body and hole spacing to ensure alignment with your gate’s mounting points.

• Designed for trailers, RVs, campers and caravans
• Compact dimensions: 8.27" x 1.57" x 1.18" for common compatibility
• Includes one latch and one catch plate for a complete closure pair
• Easy to adapt with screws or welding if hole spacing differs slightly

Who this is for: this 2-piece utility lift gate latch kit is aimed at owners and maintainers of trailers, campervans, caravans and RVs who need a sturdy, no-frills replacement or upgrade for gate hardware. It suits DIY mechanics, fleet maintainers, and anyone wanting a reliable, long-lasting closure option with simple installation choices and a one-year aftermarket warranty.
