Torch,


Yes I have looked at the website you reference and the latches there appear to be quality units that replace/upgrade those RV doors that have handle mechanisms that sandwich the inner and outer latch mechanisms through a single hole in the door. A dead bolt feature is included.



What I posted above is the TriMark devices that have three separate units:
1. a blind mount external paddle handle shown as 030-0400
2. a blind mount interior latch handle shown above as 030-0425
3. A door edge mortised latching mechanism that engages the doorfrrame latch ring which is shown above as o50-0250
4. the door frame mounted latch ring is not shown above...
5. the deadbolt for the diesel pushers are high quality separate deadbolts independent of all of the above mechanisms.


The strike/latch is not a beveled sliding bolt like the typical door knob mechanism or the RV style handles you linked on the Latchit website -- these more resemble the NTSA approved door latches used in cars and trucks and are rotary release mechanisms with a partial and full engagement pawl set-up.


I am not trying to make any particular point here, and certainly not arguing about your post which is going to be helpful to anyone that has a latch that sandwiches the door cutout as illustrated on the Latchit site. My point is rather that a G7 Friendship diesel pusher by Gulfstream will most likely have the types of latches found on my 2007 Tour Master diesel pusher -- hence my posts about that series of TriMark hardware.


Thanks for your contributions in the other GS Owners site thread regarding the Endura coaches.
