Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

I saw a discussion about using ordinary locksets on a tear but they are designed for doors of normal thickness. What is being used for 3/4' plywood doors. I have seen lockable sets for screen doors but don't consider that little spring loaded flipper bar they use very secure. When we had our pop-up though it just had a flimsy lock and of course anyone wanting in could go through the canvas by seperating it from the door. Never had a problem, I've found most people in campgrounds to be honest folks. But I still need a latch of some sort.

Here are a few latches and lock sources that will deal with the 3/4" Plywood:

I used regular entry locksets...and my doors were only 1/2" plywood. I added trim( just added a fun and simple design to both the front and rear sides, bought a nifty tool,
and wa lah........
everything turned out great.

Nice door Barb. It's beautiful. I used storm door latch and deadbolt. It works pretty good, not nearly as nice as Barb's lockset though.

Those are nice looking doors Barb and Steve, good work. I'll be glad when I get to that part of my build.
