Default Cobra Trailer front access door ....

Locking the front door for long trips is a good idea.

I've epoxy'd a piece of wood (paint stirring stick) in a couple of trailers as a speed bump for the latch to go over before it will unlock.

Give that a try?

If it is a metal top from before 1990 no dice on keys from Cobra...they are right for later trailers though. From what you describe I do not think that keys would help anyway. Install a hasp as you mentioned and Mark suggests.


I have problems more with the back door on long trips ('80s fiberglass top).
I've taken to running a strap between the latches for the top to keep the
door closed. The lock will work itself out even with the strap over it!
