Door Latch Repairs

Keeping your door latch secured and locked ensures the safe hauling of your payload and the safety of other people on the road.

There are countless reasons why semi-truck container door latches break or malfunction. Sometimes it is because the driver forgets to close the door and the latch catches on to another object. Other times the loading of the payload can hit the gate, causing the door latch to break. And there is always wear-and-tear to blame as moisture or exposure to the elements can lead to rotting of the door material-causing the latch to malfunction.

Regardless of the reason why a door latch malfunctions in your tractor-trailer, Palm Beach Fleet Services can repair or replace your door latches and restore the safety of your vehicle. Our industry-certified mechanics are experienced with this type of work and can make these repairs quickly and effectively so you can go about your business and remain productive on the road.

Palm Beach Fleet Services checks your door latches for potential damage such as:

• Broken Hinges
• Locking Mechanism Malfunction
• Door Operator Malfunction
• Door Cables wearing out

At Palm Beach Fleet Services we advise every driver to attach the doors to the side and secure them accordingly to ensure they don't get caught. When operating or backing up into a tight space you risk the chance of getting stuck somewhere-and that will make the doors come right off with the potential to hurt someone or cause more damage.
