Driver’s Door Latch
We
added additional security locks on our driver’s door. One is a pin, normally
used on a sliding glass door. The other latch keeps the upper part of the door

door top lock. The Rexhall shop in Lancaster installed a cabinet tapered lock on
the upper part on this door to reduce wind noise, but it is impossible to latch
without using 2 hands ( hard to do going down the road!). So I turned it around,
raised the bar the latch catches on with washers, so that the tapered latch is
mounted on the door frame - the bar on the coach frame. This way, I can lock the
latch "on the run", plus the taper now works to pull the door tight. They don't
think of these things in the factory - you have to drive the rig to appreciate
these tricks.
