Location: Fort Myers, FL | I've been refurbishing my first trailer. I took everything off of it. It now has no floor, windows, doors, chrome, etc. It's being treated for rust, dents being removed, and then primed and painted with a new floor and rubber mats on the walls, floors, and rear doors.My current problem: It only has one tack/manger door, which is on the curbside. And when things are on the other side, well, it's a long way to the other side to get things. The trailer in question is a 1990 Model WW 2-Horse Bumper Pull. I believe it is the Roper Delight, but I'm not completely sure. I'm hoping on a divider in the middle with a saddle rack and 2 bridle racks attached to each side. But in order to do that, I need a door on the other side. We're going to carpet the entire inside of the tack compartments. I'm horseless, and this is the closest horse thing I'm doing for now. As much as I'd love another horse, it's just not in the stars for me at this moment. We're completely DIY'ing this trailer. Any ideas on where to get the doors at? HorseTrailerAccessories doesn't carry them, and that is where I'm getting most of my stuff from.Thanks! | |

Location: western PA | By now I sound like a broken record. For any sheet metal repairs, modifications, or additional renovations, a fabricator is an excellent source for these services. Whenever an older trailer is worked on, sourcing parts can be difficult. Manufacturers, models and construction details change over the years. A tack door, with either a curved or straight panel, can be easily constructed. A continuous piano hinge and modern latch can secure things. This is an easy project for a professional, who works with metal on a daily basis, and has the necessary shop tooling and supplies. There are fabricating companies who also specialise in the repair and modification of trailers. They would be an excellent source of service. Larger truck repair companies, frequently involve sheet metal (steel and aluminum ) reconstruction. Check the internet and phone book for various sources. | |

Location: Lockport, Illinois | WW is still in business, your trailer is very common and has not changed in years. Give WW a call and find out what would it cost for a tack door for the street side.W-W TrailerP.O. Box 807HWY 199 WestMadill, OK 73446 phone 580-795-5571
