Door Retainers

McNaughtans door retainers help hold open or secure doors on trucks, trailers, semi-trailers and industrial vehicle bodies. The collection includes male and female sets, mounting brackets, rubber bases and cast retainers in different materials and formats to suit a variety of doors and operating conditions.

How to choose a door retainer

First identify the type of retainer already fitted and decide whether you need a complete set or a replacement component. Compare the length, base dimensions, hole positions and alignment between the male and female parts. You should also check the door movement and choose a position that avoids stress or unwanted contact.

  • Confirm whether you need a set, bracket or base.
  • Compare dimensions and the fixing pattern.
  • Check alignment with the door fully open.
  • Inspect rubber parts, fixings and wear regularly.

Frequently asked questions

Can I replace only one part of the retainer?

Yes, when the component is compatible with the rest of the assembly and has the same dimensions and geometry.

How do I determine the mounting position?

Position both parts with the door fully open, check their alignment and make sure they do not interfere when the door closes.
