 Have you ever been in your RV and you want your cabinet door to come open in but it won't. Have you ever been in your RV and wanted one of your cabinet doors to stay closed but it wouldn't ? You're not alone. In my experience with recreational vehicles I've talked to numerous campers that experienced one or both of these problems more than once. This doesn't have to be, but often is the case. We are always going to fix them when we get home, and then forget until were on the road again. Sometimes we just need to make a repair into a project of love. Well, a project anyway.
Perhaps fixing an RV cabinet door latch, knob, lock, or any other cabinet hardware isn't the most fun thing to do, but if we try, we really can have some fun doing it and at the same time make life in our RV not only more enjoyable, but also can give your RV a new look. Not to mention the safety factor of what would be accomplished. Most RV cabinet hardware can be changed with just a screwdriver. The more difficult thing to do is choosing the cabinet hardware we want to put back on. Maybe you don't want to change all the hardware but rather just the one that's broke. If your like me and the button is off my shirt I usually just put the one back on that needs to be replaced. Often times you can't find a button to match it. Usually when this happens we get one just as close as we can and move on. The same is often true with a cabinet latch.
Usually, campers only think of changing a cabinet latch or lock when it's broken or they're actually remodeling their RV. Which ever the case might be in all actuality it's an inexpensive fix or remodel. Whether you go to your local RV dealer or do your shopping online, finding cabinet hardware that is similar and quite possibly an exact match is not a tough task. Most RV dealers keep a decent selection of hardware in their store and if you're looking online, you can probably see about everything that's available. Changing your cabinet hardware is also a great way to give your rv a new look without spending a ton of money. You can improve the over all look of your RV cabinets with new cabinet hardware and you can update the look of your cabinets with little effort or experience. As I mentioned earlier most cabinet hardware can be replaced with a simple screwdriver.
Making a decision whether to replace your cabinet hardware with the same hardware or not often depends on the style that is on your RV. But before changing or choosing the new hardware, try and think of the problems that you have had in the past with the style you now have. This should help in your decision as to what cabinet hardware you might choose. Whether it's a concealed positive latch, positive door latch, bulldog catches, or roller catches, will determine what you can change to or if you can really change that style. If you're not sure, a simple call to your local RV dealer or your parts online dealer is a good option. I feel confident they can give you the information needed to help you make a good decision.
As an added note there are only really three well-known RV cabinet hardware brands. They are, RV Designer, BRD, and JR Products. This writer tends to lean to the RV Designer Brand mainly because they do a lot of research of what style of cabinet latches or other hardware campers are buying. By doing so they package the top sellers and usually have plan-o-grams for their dealers so as to have the most probable product a camper would want in stock. This writer is not endorsing nor downgrading others product, but rather just trying to give the best information based on his experience.
Well, like I said in the beginning, it really is easy. I hope if you are changing or thinking of changing your RV cabinet hardware that this information has been helpful. I know for sure changing it will make for a better camping experience. I wish you the best with your project and wish you the best in all of your camping and RVing experiences. Happy camping.
