ABOUT ME I grew up in a cabinet shop and was born to be a woodworker. In the past few years when work slowed in the custom cabinet industry, I converted a few friends Vans and SUV's so they had more storage for adventuring, work, or just the weekend beach getaway. Before I knew it I had my own business making people's ideas come to life. I design and build all kinds of custom woodwork and vehicles here at my shop in Huntington Beach, California!

Thank you for moving the camera and capturing all of the steps for installation! Great explaination of each step too!
your work gets better all the time. Your van design is simple and smart.
My latches arrived in the mail today, thanks for the video as there wasn’t any instructions for installation included
Your videos are my most valuable resource while working on my own van conversion, keep up the awesome work!
+Kate Lastrapes wow thank you so much! Let me know if there are any other videos that might help!
Thank you so much. Nothing you buy on Amazon comes with instructions anymore
Perfect. This is the video and part I needed to latch my attic door when I remove the hinges. Swinging the door is no longer practical with a desk in front of it. Thanks dude
Thanks for your video. Finishing up things on my van this week. 👍
Cool latch. Maybe some sticky backed weather stripping on the back of the catch to reduce the rattling noise while driving. I definitely like these, there really clean!
Great work Brian!
Good point! Those tiny rattling sounds add up to an almighty great din! Liquid rubber could dampen sounds.
Great video and thanks for the detailed explanation! The happy face ending was awesome :)
Great video Thanks
tanks from Brazil !!!
Nice informative how-to. Thank you!
How do you get such perfect edges on your ply? Wicked vids bro, keep them coming 😎✌🏼
Thanks for sharing great guide
Hey, good video, I’m about to reinstall cabinets in my sailboat with this same system. Thanks!
Great tips!!
An excellent demo! I appreciated that little tip about the blowout without wood backing. I never knew that, duh! And also the tip about sizing of the spade bit, the hinge placement, centering the latch. Small details that make a world of difference.
The video was clear, great explanations, and I appreciated no music! Thank you!!
Don't end your sentences on a questioning tone. This is a speech habit taking over America. End of sentence should not sound like a question. Much better.
Dude your good.I see people build their vans out and they do such a shitty job.Thats where your gonna live or stay in there for a long period of time.You would think they would want it to look good. Especially since it's small area it wouldn't cost that much.Keep making videos.
Thanks. Good instructions!
Cool video, any idea oh to install these latches on drawers?
Same concept but aim them to the top of the drawer
If you want an even cleaner hole...drill from face side till spade bit point peeks through, then drill from opposite side. This will leave no injury to exit side whatsoever!
As a note, you need to take into account that the little piece that slides out to lock, needs to slide out some, then go back in. Like when you push the button on a pen, the ball point comes out more before going in.
That could ruin a cabinet door if you forget about that and cut a hole.
And the cool thing is the catch prevents the door from pushing in. :)
Do you add any finish or protectant on the ply or does the birch hold up well on its own?
I didnt in this job, the customer painted it
Do u prefer any wood over others on building a van? Based on quality, toxins, if it bends in moisture, etc. I know there is lots of wood to choose from but I don't know which is the best especially if you will live in ur van. Sorry I hope I make sense!
Ive just been working with this 3/4" Birch. Seems to do well, haven't had any complaints yet!
You need a strong wood that looks pleasing and is cheap. Birch plywood- marine grade is the one. If you use solid wood, pine too. This is a good question for beginners. So many woods, where do you begin? You start any project with REQUIREMENTS. What are your requirements - write them down. Whether moving house, painting a wall, making cabinets for RV (not house)
Cabinet Requirements for RV:
1. Structurally strong wood - this weeds out Kiri, redwood, cedar, cypress, etc. These wood are not strong and never used for cabinets. Birch, Maple, Walnut, Oak, Bamboo, Pine, Cherry are good.
2. Lightweight wood due to weight constraints in RV - this weeds out dense heavy wood like Oak, Walnut, Cherry, Maple, Ipe, Rosewood, etc. What works is Bamboo, Pine, Birch.
3. Resists warping from moisture - Plywood works better than solid wood for less warping.
4. Will not rot easily, can handle vibrations, can handle heavy weight... and so on.
5. Affordable price. Plywood. More pricey is Marine Grade Plywood, but nicer finish and higher quality. Much pricier is solid wood, but you have a choice. Worst of all is MDF - particle board - this crumbles with a hint of moisture, has a short life, and is very heavy.
Birch Plywood checks most of the boxes so emerges as the winner.
Always look at what you need (requirements) and what you are limited by (constraints) to arrive at a solution. This works for every project you undertake.
Sometimes it is faster to see what others use, and use that after checking against your requirements and constraints.
There are two things you have to do for any RV build:
1. Research materials exhaustively. Use the best one.
2. Measure, measure, measure before you start.
Were those 3/4" doors? Thanks for the how too.
Roy Vannoy yes they are.
Hello there. I'd really appreciate knowing what the name and make of this product is as I'd like to buy some. Any help would be fantastic.
Thanks.
Look at the link in the video description
Here you go man... too bad ppl like this can take the time to make a video but can’t take the time to copy and paste a link.... prob bcuz the video makes then money and copy and pasting a link for you doesn’t... welcome to the new generation... www.amazon.com/Encell-Button-Cupboard-Camper-Caravan/dp/B071KVBKXT
@@json707 its in the goddamn description.
@@json707 He literally said in the video that it was linked in the description. I assume you and @Kai Chase are from the generation that can follow instructions.
Love it that you work in old school inches and not mm
Just how i was taught in America
Great video...just wondering where you are located?
+Traveling Terry Huntington Beach, California
Are these catches adjustable for different wood thickness or do you have to buy the right one for the specific thickness? Say if I wanted to use 1/2 inch ply instead of 3/4 inch?
They claim they work for thicknesses between 11-18 mm which is 7/16 - just under 3/4
Ah okay, I probably need to find the right one for my thickness then. Thanks!
I meant that the one i use in this video, here is the link: amzn.to/2tdS0Pt. works for any thickness from the sizes i listed above!
Brilliant, thank you :)
What an excellent point! I would have not thought of this.
Yawp!! Good info! Tanx!
This door latch method is nice. One comment is the rattle noise from any play between the striker and latch when the door is closed. I will check that out before I start my cabinets.
The stopper has an adjustment where you mount the screws so you can move in and out to adjust.
Solid Wood Worx makes sense thank you
@@SolidWoodWorx what do you mean by the stopper please?
Just shut the door and mark on the outside where the centre of the knob is.... then use your speed square to run a line across and voila no need for measuring.....
My button is stuck and the drawer is closed. And tips on how to get it open without running the drawer?
I don’t sorry
I need one of these that can work with a 1-1/2 inch thick door in my RoadTrek. All the ones I've found are too short to accommodate this thickness. Any suggestions? Thanks very much!
Never seen one that can gonthat thick. I would reccomend a t handle latch maybe
Wow, thanks for the quick response! Yeah, I was afraid of that. Do you have any recommendations or links to a t-handle latch? Cheers!
Ive used this one few time sits pretty damn hevay duty and lockable. The latvhes part can be adjusted for depth.
T handle folding latch- amzn.to/2uKM0BQ
@@SolidWoodWorx I can attest that these are good latches. I have four of them on my underbody boxes. You'll want to apply Loctite to the threads once everything is set though. If not, expect to re-tighten the stop and set nuts (a jamb nut affair) in a regular basis as they become loose from use and vibration. Also, if it's important to you, these can be keyed alike.
That is because these are not meant for doors but cabinets. Use a door latch. Your door is a different scale than this thing is meant for.
That's a speed square, not a framing square. The trim is called a bezel, not a bevel. Good video. You have a nice, laid-back instructional style I like.
Thanks for this useful video Brian
My door thickness is just 12mm but the catch fits minimum 14mm thick. Can I pack out at the back of the board by 2mm to mount back plate?
Plus I heard these catches often go faulty.
Feedback anyone?
Yes you can, and yes there pretty faulty I have since stopped using them, THanks
@@SolidWoodWorx Thank Brian,
What do you use now?
I have abandoned idea of these catches and gone for two old brass catches in the garage...work something like this in the link: www.sopac.co.nz/shop/Cabin+Hardware/Barrel+Bolts+Cabinet+Latches++Door+Holders/Latch+Door+Adjustable+Push+Button+BRS.html
Also the catches in your video - I have seen someone take them apart and bore out the plastic section so that the catch registers better. Its an option for those who have these catches already installed and need to fix them: see the youtube called "
Casita Push Button Rim Latch / Lock Fix & Remediation" th-cam.com/video/oO-cxgwlpNE/w-d-xo.html
I mostly use this style slam latch now. th-cam.com/video/uV_Ou84L484/w-d-xo.html
Maybe use a 3/4” Forster bit?
How much to these rattle when you're driving?
Not much if you get them tight!
Reviews on amazon aren't good... how are your latches holding up?
Shir ive changes to another kind i made another video of, called slam latches
@@SolidWoodWorx I've watched both videos. What's the main reason you switched? Where the ones in this video poor quality?
You don't need that sacrificial piece of wood for the spade bit. When the pilot point penetrates the stock you're drilling, stop, turn the wood over and drill from the other side. Perfect, clean hole with no blowouts. Easy Peasy.
Sometimes that works and sometimes the holes get offset. Either way works just showing people options ✌
Not really. Spade bits "walk" wildly, resulting in, as Brian says, offset holes front and back. The real solutions are hole saws or forstner bits. With either of these, two principles should always be practiced: finished side up and the use of sacrificial stock to support the wood fibers on the opposing face.
True, but... the holes can shift a bit, and you have more work.
Too bad the latch isn't adjustable. Could've removed some of that slack. But I guess weather stripping does work as well.
Nice job. Amazing how you punish yourself with the inches thing though :-)
+Douger Rohmer what does that mean?
I think he's talking about metric vs imperial system.
+Datzneat haha ya must be, but I'm in America and that's just how it works here, been doing it my whole so easy for me.
Whatever works for you, but how one would find half of 5 7/8" boggles my mind :-)
If you really want to know: 5 div 2 = 2 1/2; 7/8 div 2 = convert 7/8 to 14/16 (so it's evenly divisible). 14/16 div 2 = 7/16; convert 2 1/2 --> 2 8/16 so you can easily add 2 8/16 + 7/16 = 2 15/16
super, now i know :)
Price pp
What does that mean?
I swear i searched this before i emailed you. 3 minutes later my gf yells "guess what I found" #smh
