Highly reliable steel, nylon and rubber door retainers
On a busy worksite, free-swinging doors, tailgates, and latches are accidents waiting to happen. They swing open when they’re meant to be shut or slam shut when you need them open. They can jam fingers, hit you or others, damage equipment, and who can predict what else.
Ovesco’s door retainers are easy-installation solutions that hold doors open or shut without the need for a locking mechanism. We offer a wide variety of designs to suit different needs, including swinging T-hooks, clipping catches and rolling stays. With designs made of stainless steel, rubber and nylon, you’ll find light, medium and heavy-duty door retainers.
