    The next time you hook up a trailer with missing door hooks and there is a long piece of bailing wire hanging out of the hole to secure the door, remember this video if it's windy.

    Glad he is ok,I was on a road call one time and the till door on the utility truck got blown around and smacked me in the face. Hurt for a bit and left a nice little gash on my cheek.

    The bailing wire works better than some of the hooks. Push the door tight and twist the wire and the door can't vibrate itself loose.

    This thread has me paranoid. I was climbing into a trailer yesterday that was still parked in line and couldn’t open doors all the way. I remembered this thread and had a standoff with the open door. Staring it down wondering if it was going to come at me :biggrin_2551:

    Well not to say you're wrong but I've had those latches like come undone. U think its hooked u walk back to climb in or close other door and then the latch breaks loose and whap.
