Literally watched this an hour ago, went out to the trailer, flattened out my plate, and what a difference!! Why to they raise these plates to begin with?
glad it helped!
My hubby thought of this last year and it really does work.
Nice!
Pay attention Lippert. You need to hire this guy.
This helped my family so much omg. Thank you for saving us!!!
You're so welcome!
I get to break out the hammer and hit things??? YEEEESSSS!!!!
Great advice! I’ve never owned an RV that I didn’t have to make adjustments to the door. I’ve even had to use the 2x4 method to straighten a door. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Hello, thanks for the video, I have the same problem, this simplified the fix for me.tank you again 👍👍👍👍.DG from Fort Lauderdale.Florida
Good to hear up here in PA!
Great information ross thanks👍
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Helpful and succinct. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I went through a lot of these and what finally worked for me was disassembling my keyless RVlock, removing the spring for the latch bolt, and cutting 1/4-1/2 inch off. Then I stretched it back out to the original length. Door closure is smooth as butter now.
Thank you so much. My camper door was pulling open with the deadbolt engaged and miving the stricker plate was all it took. 3 sleepless nights later. God bless you!
Great job as usual.
You are the bomb of DIY. Keeping it understandable at a 5th grade level 👌
Time to go full time 😉🤙
Thanks bud!
Good tips. Thank you.
You bet!
Ross, I followed your previous suggestion regarding T9 and that product is amazing. Thanks for the great content.
Its nice Paul, agree... getting a little expensive though I would love to see them bring the price down a bit. I think $15-$16 is fair considering all it does. $20+ is getting a little high, but still love it.
Lubricating the latch did it for us -- from virtually impossible to close the door from inside to fairly easy (seals still need to be compressed so a little force is required when pulling it closed). Thanks for an excellent video.
Thanks for the info… yeah, it’s never ever going to be a smooth as a residential door, but it can be improved. Thanks my friend.
Dude you saved me a lot of headache. Thanks!
Glad to help
This is so great. I really appreciate how you get to it explaining the steps.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Excellent content and very well done.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your video. You save me some headaches. Just needed to readjust the strike plate.
Glad I could help
Brilliant my man!
Thank you
Great information Ross, My dad has to practically slam his door to get it to latch. Im going to pass this on to him to do,(which he'll have me do). Keep up the great content! 👍
Glad to help
Great info. I need to make my door easier to close. I've done what you suggested and the door closes better but just not good enough yet. From what I can see when the door is closed it seals flush at the bottom but not at the top. I may have an alignment issue as well. I was going to give it the old piece of wood trick, put a piece of wood in the bottom of the door and push the door at the top just to make things straighter.
Awesome video! Ours has been causing issues all summer. Will try the plate tricks and if it is the hinges I will hope you do a video in that as well!
keep me posted
Just saw you hit over 100K Subs! Congratulations!
Thanks Jared, learned a lot from watching you over the years.
I’m going to check out my strike plate now, and see if that is the issue. Thanks!
Good luck!
During our last camp out, one of our neighbors had a similar issue. After looking at it and thinking about it for about a half day. We realized that the neighbor has cranked the rear (door side) stabilizer so far down that it pushed the door off. We retracted the stabilizer and extended it carefully until the door closed easily.
That’s interesting! Makes sense and glad you got it figured out.
Hello! What recommendation for lubricant on schwintek slides? I understand to never spray lubricant on the tracks themselves. But there are rollers and flat steel tracks under the slides that may need lubrication. Story: I had a rubbing sound coming from the DS slide, took the class-a in for service and the tech said to lubricate the rollers/steel band under the slide. After doing this, We still hear the rubbing sound. p.s. slide motors are synched and is flat to the outside of the motorhome (no gaps, the slide does tend to walk out a bit at the bottom but techs are clueless about this).
Fixed!
Glad it helped.
This is a well done video! It's to the point. It's absolutely maddening watching 8 minutes of incoherent rambling on some introduction. If I'm watching a video, I already know why. 😂 Anyway, again, well done.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video but my problem with our door not shutting properly is a stripped screw on the strike plate which causes it to move what do you recommend to do for that thanks for all your great videos
along with this video Nick, ive since learned you can also use zip ties instead of toothpicks... you'll understand after watching the video, but zip ties might be a better option in areas that get wet. th-cam.com/video/MlFPex87cr4/w-d-xo.html
Nice video. My question is what is a good fix for a door latch that has been stripped out after a break in. No place for screws to go even after using max size for plate?
That would be something I would have to see to help with, sorry.
Good video! More door closes perfectly... but the screen door on the other hand has never latched. It's like the latch is far enough towards the bore to engage.
RV screen door latches are cheap and pretty much garbage. They need to re-engineer, or at least use metal hardware.
I am having a problem with the screen door hook that catches the exterior door. I have adjusted the black catch plate on the exterior door to see if it helps but it doesn't. When I open the exterior door, you have to pull hard for it to release the the screen door. The screen door stays closed while the exterior door opens. I'm not sure I am explaining this correctly. Basically every time I open the exterior door, I feel like the plastic screen handle will eventually break.
Where did you get the yellow spray nozzle for the Boeshield T9? I can't find it anywhere with the yellow nozzle?
That’s a little hack… those come on PB Blaster, can be removed and used on T9. amzn.to/45dHyc0
QUESTION; I’ve built and repaired homes, etc, all my life. Is the door on an rv made differently, as in bowed a little towards the middle? I think it’s part of the design to keep pressure on the seals, thanks
On a straight frame trailer like mine I don’t think it is bowed since the walls are straight, and many doors are manufactured by a company other than the manufacturer who builds the rv. Some doors like on airstreams are bowed though because the trailer is not straight.
Did you happen to make another video about inspecting and adjusting the hinges? I did these steps but my door is still hitting the frame as if the frame is too small. I do construction and have installed and shimmed many home doors but this one has me stumped
Toby, unfortunately this mod wont fix the door alignment issues. My hinges are riveted too, not really much room for adjustment without an all day project on your hands. I wish these bolted in, that would allow for fairly easy adjustments.
I wish your help and advice could help what Forest River did to my door. But you need a decent hole in the rv to get a working door....
what is your issue, maybe i can help
@@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS I’m not exactly sure yet but am being told the hole is cut crooked in the rv. They have put 4 different doors in with no success. It also has something to do with the stairs because they told me they needed to be replaced but they don’t make them any more. I have a 2020 Cedar Creek 33ik Silverback edition.
Right now it seems the put a larger frame in and filled the door with this insulation that is coming off already. Light comes thru the door etc etc.
Very sorry to hear that… you’d think a quality company like that would fix the issue correctly.
@@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS thanks. Sadly it is quite the opposite.
We have a travel trailer Avenger that when the main door is shut on the top does not close tight so you can see daylight the screen door has no problem we do have stowaway steps and was told this was normal. Is this caused by the steps or is it bent hinges and how do we know?
its something i would have to see in person, but its not normal. the door should seal.
issue with ;pcked door opening while moving. thank goodness the handrail was across it and prevented it from swinning completely open. 2020 micro minnie winnie. how to trouble shoot?
sounds like your striker isnt going into the plate enough which could be an alignment issue, either that or your handle spring is shot and its opening on its own with very mininal trailer movement. would honestly have to look at it to tell.
I have a problem with with my hinges, I can see daylight through that side of the door and I noticed three of my screws are broken on the hinges themselves, do you have a video that might help me?
not for that sorry
any tips for the stupid glass doors on the Cherokee Grey Wolf models, specifically the 26DBH. Both doors have to forcefully shoved closed in order to get them to latch. So much so, that my kids can't really close them all the way. Even worse, one door won't stay latched closed while we travel. If it wasn't for the deadbolt it would swing open every time we drive.
I got nothing, my glass doors in my house suck too lol.
What about when inside or outside i have to open the door handle and press/pull to get the door latched. I bought it new took it in for them to fix they did nothing still has issues.
Try adjusting your strike plate away from the rv. If that doesn’t fix it, you might have an alignment issue that’s not allowing the door to close within its tolerances.
How do I fix the door deadbolt hitting below the bore and strike plate. Ive leveled and re-leveled and it won’t ever align. Also the huge gap at top.
you might be able to dremel out the strike plate where its hitting if the other adjustments havent worked, but I would have to see whats happening to better help.
Do you have any info on adjusting a screen door? I’ve tighten the screws, but still won’t sit right. Hits the striker plate 🥴
I have not unfortunately
Well Damn!!!!
I went to change the lock on our new 5th wheel and it seems the striker plate can only be installed backwards. When installed correctly as you showed it will not latch. Am i at risk by leaving it this way? Don't want to get myself locked out.
what kind of lock did you put it?
@@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS It's the Latch it RV keypad lock. Although it will latch it will not deadbolt. I found one with a longer opening so hopefully that will work once it comes in.
My door closes great hard to lock it from inside have to lift up hard on the door to lock it ?
Sounds like your deadbolt is hitting the strike plate and isn’t aligned. May need to adjust strike plate
💯👋
Thanks for watching!
Great video but you want some slight pressure from the seals. That keeps it draft, weather, and insect resistant.
Yes, I say that in the video. There needs to be adequate pressure to keep the elements out. Guessing you didn’t watch the whole thing but it is mentioned in the video.
So problem I'm having is at storage the doors close easy but when I get to my location and level it the doors then get hard to close. Any suggestions?
sounds like the hinges are out of alignment but I'd have to see it to say for sure.
Heres whats coming
someone pleeeeease show how to remove screen door hinges and put new one on
ill see what i can do
Great suggestions. My door closes fine when the steps are up but no matter how I angle them you always have to slam the door to get it to latch. I think my door is misaligned from the factory.
Do you have morryde or Lippert steps?
Morryde steps. I've adjusted them every which way and still binds on the bottom of the door.@@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS
Mine will rub the steps too if they aren’t completely flat against the threshold. Nothing that can be done, can’t make the step metal thinner. You might have to modify the bottom of the door, and that would be a nightmare.
So my door doesn't have this problem in the summer (heat) only in the winter when it gets really cold (20*f and lower) what could be the problem/fix
Interesting…. Not sure what the fix is but is the problem by the latch or somewhere else?
@@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS definitely in the latch
That’s odd it’s happening in the winter, but even still I would try what I did in this video and see what happens.
@@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS thank you I will try and update
Definitely keep me posted. Good luck my friend.
What can I do to my RV door to stop it from flapping at the top while traveling? The door opens and closes easily and with no issues.
thats odd, try moving your strike plate further into the rv
It’s so frustrating when you buy a brand new camper and the latches hit the door, and my second door at the bedroom, the deadbolt doesn’t close fully. I know I can fix it, but helps to see how it has all been done successfully before. Thanks
Hope it helped!
Flattening the strike plate may make the door close easier, but we have an issue that the latch comes out of the strike plate from heat expansion and contraction and traveling down the road. Moving the strike plate further away from the door will make that problem worse rather than better. The deadbolt keeps the door closed, but the seals don't keep all water out of the door if the seal is not compressed.
If you have an issue where the latch is coming out of the bore, you have an alignment issue. The latch from the factory should penetrate more than deep enough into the strike plate and the bore that flattening out the strike plate a few millimeters should not affect it. Unfortunately you have a bigger problem where your door (and latch) is not close enough to the frame for the latch to penetrate the bore. This is not a strike plate issue. The majority of your latch should be well within the bore. If you are depending on just the strike plate to hold your door shut, you’re out of alignment. Hope that makes sense.
@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS it does make sense, but numerous techs from manufacture have looked at it and told me all was OK. When it is hot it is very hard to close door too, which says it is too close to strike plate or the door or wall is warped.
But when it cools it moves away and doesn’t stay shut?
@@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS Yes., but not when we are in it. only going down the road or in storage.
Thanks for the tips but can i bring up the elephant in the room ? Is that Big ben on your wrist? ⌚
Just an Apple Watch with this: amzn.to/3POyOnW
This obviously helps with the latching but the friction hinges are ridiculously tight.
They definitely are Mark. Personally I don’t like them and never got them, but a lot of people do have them.
Our main door has a problem with shutting. We have to press on it hard to get it to latch. Our plate is already at the furthest setting.
furthest away from the RV?
Mine is opposite keeps comming open in winter
thats odd...
Use silicone spray on complete door frame. This will fix 99 percent of the door closing problems!
That’s not fixing anything. If you’re door is out of alignment you are ignoring the issue and it will probably get worse. That’s also not going to help metal on metal rubbing at the plates. What the guy in the video does is fix the problem, not cover it up.
I must have an unusual case because my RV door itself seems "warped". Or the hinges are bent... or something. In order to close the door I have to insert a flathead screwdriver in the bottom of the frame and lift the door up as I'm pushing the latch closed. It's impossible to close the door from the inside and must sit ajar while sleeping. Grrrrr.
unfortunately, I think you are correct, in your case it has nothing to do with the plates. it could be the hinges, it could also be the door frame slightly out of alignment. i would start with putting a square on your door frame corners to see if that is the issue. try to find what is out of square first. hopefully its hinges, thats the cheapest route.
My father always said a Happy Medium was a drunk gypsy
🤣🤣🤣
👍🇺🇲
doors are all warped from the factory no matter what, bowed in the middle havent seen a flat one yet
If the door closed fine when you first purchased and after a year or two it starts to hit the strike plate, you have issues with the door hinges. Doing this only gives a quick fix because the door will continue to move. Get the door fixed properly.
Won’t disagree with you that you could have a problem at the hinges, but that’s rarely the case. This problem can exist right out of the factory. Also, the door frame can twist a bit from driving. Additionally hinges/metal components can expand and contract in different weather conditions. Hinges can also stretch a bit but that doesn’t mean they will continue to expand or stretch beyond the yield point. Theres 4 reasons you can have this issue that have nothing to do with loosening hinges. Now, if the door continues to hit the strike plate after this adjustment is done, then you might have a hinge issue, possibly a frame issue too. I feel this mod is the first step to finding out. Hinge adjustments on riveted RV doors is a much more difficult undertaking, I stand behind doing this mod first all day.
Ok thank you very much for going into more details on what may cause the issue! I now better understand what you were conveying in the video!
No problem Jim, and I’m not discrediting your statement, definitely could be a hinge issue, no doubt. I would try this first since it’s easy. Thank you for being a long time subscriber and viewer my friend.
