Fastec Door Latches
Fastec Door Latches: Dependable Hardware for RVs and Trailers
When it comes to keeping the doors of your travel trailer, toy hauler, or RV securely closed on the road, few names carry the weight of experience that Fastec does. Established in 1979, Fastec is a national distributor of industrial fasteners, hardware, and lock products, giving them decades of engineering insight into what RV and trailer owners actually need from their door hardware. In 2005, Fastec became part of Wesco Distribution, a Fortune 500 global leader of electrical, industrial, and communications MRO and OEM products. That institutional backing means Fastec's door latches benefit from serious manufacturing resources and quality control.
A Versatile Lineup Built for Life on the Road
Fastec's door latches are engineered with the specific demands of recreational and utility vehicles in mind. Their product line covers a wide range of applications and configurations, from basic entry door hardware to heavy-duty baggage compartment solutions. Key latch types in the Fastec lineup include:
- Deadbolt Entry Door Latches – Fastec's deadbolt latch fits doors 1-1/4 inch to 1-1/2 inch thick and includes 2 FIC keys, a door edge cover plate, strike plate, and mounting screws — everything needed for a clean installation or replacement.
- Slam Latches for Baggage Doors – Fastec's baggage door slam latches feature a paddle handle design and include 2 keys, making them a practical and secure solution for exterior storage compartments.
- T-Handle Stainless Steel Latches – These are among the few latches on the market that can take a beating without being damaged, owing to their stainless steel construction. The front plate measures 4.75" x 4.5" and each latch comes with a set of 2 keys.
- Toy Hauler Rear Door Latches – Fastec door latches are commonly used on toy haulers as the rear door latch, a demanding application where robust construction is critical.
- Pivot Latches – The FIC lineup includes both locking and non-locking pivot latches in 1.375-inch and 2.00-inch arm configurations, giving owners precise options for different door thicknesses and clearance needs.
FIC Key Compatibility: A Major Convenience Factor
One of the most practical aspects of choosing Fastec door latches is the brand's use of the standardized FIC key system. Many Fastec latches — from travel trailer entry locks to baggage compartment hardware — are keyed alike or compatible within the FIC ecosystem. This means owners of multiple Fastec-equipped doors can often manage all their locks with a single key, a genuine quality-of-life benefit for full-time RVers and frequent campers alike.
Finish and Style Options
Fastec understands that hardware has to look good as well as function reliably. Their door latch lineup is available in multiple finishes — including chrome, black, and white variants — allowing RV owners to match their new latch to existing hardware and trim for a cohesive, professional appearance.
Whether you are replacing a worn-out factory latch or upgrading to a more secure deadbolt configuration, Fastec's door latch selection offers time-tested reliability backed by decades of industry experience.
