Folding T Handles
Folding T Handles come in many forms, including the standard folding T Handle, 3 Point Folding T Handle, Rotary Locking T Handle and the Whale Tail Folding T Handle. These are versatile T Handles designed for canopies, camper trailers and toolboxes. In fact, they are perfect as tool box locks and we use them in many of our products because most of them are lockable, easy to use and have rear fixings..
Paddle Handles
Also called Slam Handles, these are often used on cargo drawer systems and the side doors of camper trailers because you can slam the door shut. Once slammed shut, there’s no need to lock the door with a key, because it’s already locked itself. They are great when your hands are full or you can’t find your keys!
Swing Handles
We have key locking Swing Handles that are ideal for switchboards and canopies, pad locking Swing Handles that are ideal as tool box locks and non-key locking Swing Handles that are perfect for hatches. These handles are all chrome plated, water resistant, vandal proof and come with a square drive shaft.
General Locks
We have a wide range of general locks, including a Two Way Rod Latch that can be used to secure large doors that need latching on two edges and used in tool boxes, camper trailers, RVs and Utes. There’s also our Finger Pull Latch that’s ideal for small internal doors in caravans and trailers and our Recessed D Pull that’s perfect for switchboards and electrical boxes.
Compression Locks
Compression Locks, also known as Thumb Locks, Pop Locks or Omega Latches, are ideal for camper trailers and canopies, and also make great tool box locks. They get their name because they require pressure to release the lock, generally supplied by pressing your thumb against the button on the front of the lock. They are all key-locking, easy to install and available in chrome or black finishes.
Grab Handles
Grab Handles are available in heavy duty, medium duty and light duty options. The low profile, heavy duty option is made from powder coated, pressed steel with front fixings and is ideal for cargo drawers and as a tie-down on your truck. The medium duty option is made from plastic with concealed fixings and is popular on buses. The light duty, chrome grab handle is a very simple option and a good choice for tool boxes and small drawers.
L Handles
We have rear and front fixing and key-locking L Handles, front fixing and non-locking L Handles and a padlocking L Handle. The rear and front fixing L Handles are ideal for horse boxes, canopies and as secure tool box locks. The non-locking L handles are ideal when you want fast access to the contents (for example, a fire hose) and the padlocking L Handle is generally used for tool boxes and switchboards.
T Handles
Our T Handles are available in a black or chrome finish with either a front or rear fixing, and all are key-locking. They have a square drive shaft and are commonly used in tool boxes, roller doors, shed and garage doors as well as canopies.
Tool box locks
If you need tool box locks for your DIY project then your options include the Folding T Handles, Swing Handles, Compression Locks, Grab Handles, L Handles and T Handles.

Why you need a caravan door latch
Do you find that when you’re out camping and enjoying the great outdoors in your Trailer Parts Direct fitted-out caravan you come across a simple but common problem: You can’t open your windows when the caravan door is open.
The reason for this is because in many caravans, the window of the main section of the vehicle is located close to the frame of the door. What does this mean? It means when the door is open, it often covers the side window defeating the entire purpose and intent of opening the window in the first place.
Without the right sort of caravan door latch you won’t be able to open the door and keep it in place whilst giving your window enough space to allow the much-needed and refreshing breeze in.
The Trailer Parts Direct difference
While most manufacturers and retailers of caravan accessories and hardware only sell short latches, Trailer Parts Direct has the answer you’re looking for. Our caravan door latches are designed to ensure you can use your windows and doors in the way that you want and need.
Our door latch extensions give you the opportunity to extend the entire length of the latch for your door. This means you don’t have to compromise on either your open door or your open window, because you can have both things!
Made in Australia
All of our caravan door latches, along with the rest of our accessories, are manufactured right here in Australia. Not only does this give you the peace of mind knowing that a part from Trailer Parts Direct is designed and made to the high national standards, it also means that we’re able to keep a sharp eye over the entire process to ensure quality management every step of the way.
Made to last
Just as the rest of our range of hardware is made to maximise durability and strength, our caravan door latches are made specifically to work perfectly in all sorts of environments and stand up to repeated, frequent and long-term usage.
Easy to install
We’ve made everything easy! From finding the right lock and latch, to installing it the right way on the first go. These easy-to-fit latches will help you get your caravan functioning and working the way you want it to before you know it!
