Re: [SilverStreak] temp repair Hinge breakage

["David" <knobcreekrd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My sentiments exactly-- 2 trailers and no hinge problems so guess I too on
borrowed" time.  Both trailers came with dead bolts installed just below
door handle and although I have keys to fit only use deadbolt locks to
secure the door.  Would like to see hinges available and will most likely
order a set if  Braun is able to make them.  Even at $200 a set would be
good thing to carry with you on trips as insurance.  One thing I noticed in
some descriptions of moving trailer with broken hinge is how to secure it.
I always carry nylon tie down straps in my truck and  see where you could
use 2 or 3 straps to go around the trailer across the door and hold it
securely until repairs could be made.  Just a thought.

Wow...all of the hinge problems.  Our '79 is still on the original hinges.
The trailer has been used and has a lot of miles on it.  I guess I am
running
on borred time.
