The cargo trailer doors are thinner than RV doors, so the main door support can be just about cut in two when putting the RV style latch in unless you reinforce it.
The latch we used only entailed putting a one inch hole through the door. It holds the door nice and tight. I do have the keys for it, but since I still use my cargo bar, they are not a real necessity when locking up from the outside.

The secondhand doorlock that I used, I got from a generous member of this forum, but they can be bought by looking up teardrop trailer parts. Here is a link to one supplier:
