daveandmary Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 My 5th wheel main hatch door frame is loose from its mounting. There are 3 little plastic widgets that screw down to floor of compartment and clamp down over the door frame to hold it in place. All 3 have cracked and broken over time so the frame is just loosely in place. What are those widgets called? I can't find them online for replacement since I don't know what they are called. Ideas?

agesilaus Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 I'll have to look at mine, I really can't tell what that is from the photo. Try moving out to get more of the frame in a photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat & Pete Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) Looks like a piece of angle with a screw hole in it . Most any surface clamp should do as good or better . Depending on the subsurface , the 'clamp' may not even be needed . Simply drill through the framing and apply a screw . Edited March 19, 2020 by Pat & Pete Quote Goes around , comes around .

Or make a new one from a piece of angle aluminum that can be found at Lowe's or Home Depot. Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......
