FAQs

What material is this product made from?

The retaining hook and catch plate are manufactured from 304 Stainless Steel.

How is the system installed?

Installation requires drilling four 5mm holes for each component and securing them with appropriate screws (not included).

What is the total length when installed?

The total length when attached is approximately 150mm.

Can this be used for external doors?

Yes, the stainless steel construction makes it suitable for external use on vehicles and buildings.

Does it come with mounting screws?

What is the maximum width of the components?

Troubleshooting

Hook does not fully engage with the catch plate.

Adjust the position of either the hook or the catch plate to ensure proper alignment. Check that the door is opening to the intended position.

Spring mechanism feels stiff or weak.

Ensure there are no obstructions. If the issue persists, the component may need replacement.

Components are showing signs of rust.

Although stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, extreme conditions can cause surface rust. Clean with a mild abrasive cleaner and re-evaluate the environment if it persists.

Fastenings become loose over time.

Re-tighten the screws. If the mounting surface is degrading, consider using stronger or different types of fasteners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the desired open position for the door.
  2. Position the catch plate on the surface where the door will rest when open.
  3. Align the retaining hook on the door itself, ensuring it will meet the catch plate when the door is in position.
  4. Mark the mounting hole locations for both components.
  5. Drill pilot holes for the 5mm screws (not included).
  6. Securely fasten both the hook and catch plate using appropriate screws for the mounting surface.

Compatibility:

This retaining system is compatible with most standard doors on trucks, trailers, horse boxes, caravans, motor homes, and general building applications. Ensure the door can accommodate the 150mm total length when attached and the 40mm width of the components.

Care:

Being manufactured from 304 Stainless Steel, the system requires minimal care. Clean with a damp cloth as needed. Periodically check the spring mechanism for smooth operation and ensure all fastenings remain secure.
