How do I choose the right hinge for my caravan door or hatch?
Measure hole spacing, overall length, leaf width, and whether it’s left/right handed. If it’s replacing an old hinge, match the existing mounting holes first to avoid drilling new ones.
Do locks and handles fit all caravan doors?
Many do, but not all. Key measurements are the cut-out size (if it’s a handle/lock set), door thickness, and the backset (distance from the door edge to the spindle/lock centre). If you’re unsure, compare your existing lock measurements to the product specs.
What’s the difference between latches, catches, and clasps?
A latch usually has a moving mechanism that holds shut (often with a striker). A catch is the receiving/holding part. Clasps are often surface-mount pull-down or toggle styles used on boxes and access doors.
What fasteners should I use for caravans and RVs?
Use fasteners that suit vibration and weather exposure. For exterior fittings, corrosion-resistant options are best (especially near the coast). Match thread type and length to the original, and use washers/nyloc nuts where vibration could loosen standard nuts.
Why do measurements matter so much with caravan hardware?
Caravan doors, hatches and frames vary between brands and model years. Even a few millimetres difference in hole spacing, cut-outs or thickness can stop parts fitting properly — so measuring first helps avoid returns and rework.
