Ovesco’s door retainers, catches, and stays provide secure, reliable door control across trucks, trailers, and service vehicles. Built for durability and consistent hold-back strength, they offer smooth engagement, long service life, and dependable performance in harsh environments.
Door retainers are commonly used to hold truck and trailer doors open during loading, unloading, or servicing. They’re also found on camper trailers, storage containers, and service vehicles, where reliable door access is essential for safety and efficiency.
Door catches and door stays are widely used across various industrial and transportation sectors, including toolboxes, switch rooms, and motorhomes. Together, these durable hardware products provide secure door control and long service life in both indoor and outdoor vehicle applications.
Door retainers are simple to install and provide a secure hold-back solution for truck and trailer doors. Always check the product specifications to confirm compatibility with your door material and mounting surface before installation.
Position the swinging hook and catch plate so the door sits securely when open. Mark and drill the mounting holes on both the door and the vehicle body panel to ensure accurate alignment for smooth engagement.
When using a plastic backing plate, place it between the door retainer and the panel before fastening. The backing plate gives a slimline, stylish finish, helps prevent hands or clothing from catching on edges, and protects the lock from scuffing or impact damage.
Attach both components using the appropriate bolts, rivets, or screws. For stainless steel door retainers, use matching fasteners to avoid corrosion. Check that the hook engages smoothly with the catch plate when the door opens fully.
Open and close the door several times to confirm the hook holds firmly and releases without obstruction.
