When one searches for RV cabinet hardware, there are five categories that fit that description. This article will help those trying to explain what they are looking to get. The five types of hardware are latches, hinges, deadbolts, struts, and knobs.

RV cabinet latches are available in several types. Among them are magnetic, hidden, barrel, roller and positive latches. While there are a few more, these would be the most popular. When one searches for this product, it is easy to determine what type by images on a part site.

Magnetic catches are just that. A magnetic catch will have a magnet on one end and a piece of metal on the other. Hidden catches are much bulkier and come in various sizes. They will be an exceptionally recognizable style, but one needs to get the length right. The barrel latch is a commonly used latch. Again, very identifiable because it will usually have two round barrels with a piece of metal that snaps onto it. Roller latches are also easy to identify because they have rollers. Positive catches are a bit more difficult to describe than barrel catches, but will be easy to discern on an image site.

Hinges are a bit easier to get the right ones. Once again, with all the pictures that are available on RV parts sites, it will be easy to find the correct hinges. They are usually available in three colors and various styles.

The latches are going to be like the latches we discussed earlier. They come in various styles and colors. The main difference between the two is that latches generally require a thumb or finger to operate.

The struts and supports will be much longer and rounder. The most common use for this hardware would be on cabinet doors which are often raised when open. The brace or bracket will hold the cabinet door in the up position until one lowers it.

Knobs are probably the easiest to identify. They are also the easiest to remove and replace. If one cannot find the exact same knob, it will be easy to find a nearby one. With the ease of replacement, one can choose to replace all the knobs if they want them to be identical.

The great thing about RV cabinet hardware is that almost every RV website sells this product. They will have great pictures to help identify what one needs.
