door keeper

[jasult]

I keep having problems with my door keeper that holds walkin door open. They get stretched and don/t work. I know they don't cost much but today I did a ZIP TIE MOD to mine and works great. It keeps just enough tension for door to stay open :B

I have replaced twice but they don't hold the shape from the sun and stretch. I can replace the zip tie much faster 😉

And besides that, this way looks MUCH better than a new one ! :W

You beat me to it. I use those at the house. They're great. I get them at Home Depot.

If the wind is really strong and from the right front of the trailer it will pull it loose. I just hook up my old keeper in those situations. Doesn't happen often. The magnetic one is mounted just above the old one and the magnet is quite powerful.

Nice Barney, how well does it do in wind?
