RV Designer Entry Door Holders: T-Style, 45° & 90°
An RV entry-door holder helps keep the exterior door open when it is engaged. RV Designer's stainless models include 4- and 6-inch straight T-style holders as well as 45° and 90° angled styles. Choosing the correct geometry is more important than choosing a similar-looking stainless piece.
Two different attachment styles
Straight T-style: E224 / E226
These self-closing stainless holders have the familiar T-style engagement. E224 is the 4-inch model; E226 is the 6-inch model. Compare the needed reach and mounting clearance.
Angled: E275 / E277
E275 is the manufacturer's 45° angled stainless holder; E277 is the 90° version. The angle describes the fitting geometry, not a guarantee that a door will open to that same angle.

What to measure before replacing a door holder
- Identify whether the original has a straight T-style arm or an angled fitting, then look for the manufacturer's part number.
- For a straight holder, distinguish the 4-inch E224 from the 6-inch E226; the correct reach depends on the mounting positions.
- For an angled holder, select the documented 45° E275 or 90° E277 geometry based on the original fitting and available clearance.
- Compare mounting-hole spacing on the RV wall and door before drilling new holes. Check for suitable backing and seal exterior penetrations correctly.
- After fitting, confirm the door can be secured open and then released without bending the holder or interfering with other exterior accessories.
A stainless finish alone does not establish compatibility. Compare both mating pieces, the mounting pattern, the required reach and the door-to-wall angle before ordering.
