Red Hound Auto Entry Door Holder Catch — Coated Steel, 3 Inch for RV & Trailer Doors

Meet the Red Hound Auto Entry Door Holder Catch, a coated steel accessory designed to keep RV and trailer entry doors steady in a range of conditions.

Real-world uses

Imagine arriving at a campsite where doors can catch the breeze as you step out for a quick setup. This holder provides a stable anchor so doors stay put while you secure belongings, connect utilities, or prepare gear. In crowded storage lots, it helps create a predictable doorway area, letting you move inside without constant door movement.

When you’re between locations, you can rely on a secure door hold to minimize wear on hinges and latches, offering a steady entry point for routine tasks. Since mounting hardware isn’t included, you can reuse compatible fasteners you already have on hand, or purchase hardware separately to suit your door frame.

• Inspect the rubber insert for wear and replace if needed
• Keep mounting surfaces clean and dry to extend coating life
