Keep your RV entry door exactly where you put it. This Lippert friction hinge kit adds controlled resistance to your existing LCI or Challenger series entry door, letting it stay open at any angle without a door catch, gas strut, or modified frame -- and holding firm in wind gusts up to 25 mph.
Every time a wind gust catches an unsecured RV entry door, it risks denting your sidewall, cracking a window frame, or stripping the existing hinges. Standard door hinges offer zero resistance -- they swing freely in either direction. The Lippert 5-Leaf Friction Hinge Kit solves that by adding a friction-loaded hinge alongside your existing hardware, creating just enough hold to let you position the door and leave it there.
Installation takes only minutes. The friction hinges mount directly to your existing door frame using the included screws -- no need to remove the original hinges. Once in place, your door behaves like a laptop screen: open it halfway, it stays halfway. Open it fully, it holds fully. No catches, no props, no bungee cords.
5-leaf design creates controlled resistance that holds the door open at any position you choose, eliminating free-swinging in wind or on uneven ground.
Lippert tested these hinges to hold the entry door in place through wind gusts up to 25 mph -- enough for typical campsite and open road conditions.
Installs alongside existing door hinges. No frame modification, no hinge swapping, no special tools. Mounting screws are included in the kit.
Replaces the need for a separate door catch or gas strut. One set of two friction hinges provides the hold your door needs without extra hardware.
