Hatchlift Kit Installation Instructions

Install the Hatchlift kit when temperatures are above 65 degrees. If possible, work with a helper. Install one side at a time - match all dimensions on the other side. A variable speed drill is HIGHLY recommended. Self tapping screws allow for a fast and easy installation, but can strip if over tightened. The mounting plate can be moved closer or further in from the top and edge of the door to accommodate any obstructions. Check all clearances and door operation before installing. The spring can install on either side of the curved bracket by turning the ball around. If installing Hatch lift Kits on both sides of a door, upper and lower brackets must be installed in the approximate same location on the both sides of the door. The cylinder end of spring always installs on the curved bracket When finished with the installation, disconnect springs and allow 48 hours for the mounting plate to finish adhering to the door. When not in use or in storage, disconnect springs.

Lift Door Installation
 

 The kits are designed to retrofit any RV hatch opening. The hatch lifts assist in opening and closing the hatch door with minimal effort. Once in the open position the hydraulic lifts protect you and members of your family from injury from hatch doors slamming shut. 

 

Our family has been around RV's for 25 years. Like most of us that own trailers and 5th wheels, our rigs have storage areas with hatch doors held open by tiny clips mounted above the hatch door. Typically, its hard to trust these hatch doors to stay open, or they blow shut the minute the wind blows.

Installation Type - Small  

SMALL Hatchlift Kits are designed to fit light weight RV doors that measure from 14" tall to 20" tall (approximate). One kit will operate doors up to 26" wide. Doors over 26" in width should have a kit installed on both sides. The second kit helps provide for smoother operation on a wider door and also prevents the door from sagging on an unsupported side. NOTE: The mounting plate location can be adjusted to fit your door’s application.
