Why Correct Latch & Catch Identification Matters
Caravan latch and catch hardware is not always interchangeable. A similar-looking catch may use a different throw distance, mounting hole spacing, keeper plate size or finish. Always check the existing catch or latch, its mounting pattern and the door or cupboard thickness before ordering a replacement.
Common Latch & Catch Types & Fitment Checks
Common styles include push-button catches, slam-shut catches, T-handle latches, cam locks and hook-and-eye catches. Before ordering, check the catch type, mounting hole spacing, door thickness and whether a key or lock barrel is required.
Security & Maintenance On The Road
Latches and catches are used frequently and can wear, loosen or corrode over time. Inspect catches, hinges and door hardware periodically, and replace worn or damaged catches promptly to keep doors, cupboards and storage compartments secure while travelling.
Built For Australian Touring Conditions
Australian caravan hardware is exposed to heat, dust, coastal air, road vibration and heavy use. Quality latches and catches, correct fitment and regular inspection help keep doors and cupboards secure over the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are caravan latches and catches used for?
They secure caravan doors, cupboards, storage compartments and access panels so contents and doors stay closed while towing or parked.
Are caravan catches universal?
No. Catches vary by throw distance, mounting hole spacing and keeper plate size, so the existing catch should be checked before ordering a replacement.
What is the difference between a latch and a catch?
A catch typically holds a door or lid closed with a spring or push mechanism, while a latch usually engages a striker or keeper plate and may include a handle or lock.
Why do caravan catches wear out?
Frequent use, vibration from towing and exposure to weather can loosen springs, wear mounting points or corrode metal components over time.
What products pair well with caravan latches and catches?
Hinges, handles, cabinetry fittings and door hardware are commonly replaced or upgraded alongside latches and catches.
