Lippert Components RV Entry Door Friction Hinge Kit (Pack of 2, Black) — Adjustable, Wind‑Resistant

Lippert Components Friction Hinge Kit is a simple bolt-on upgrade that holds your RV entry door at any angle, preventing slams and uncontrolled swings.

Replace or augment worn door hardware with a compact friction hinge system designed specifically for RV entry doors. This kit adds measurable control and durability to your rig’s door operation without removing the door or replacing existing hinges. It’s compatible with Lippert entry doors and the Challenger Door Series, comes with all installation hardware, and is available in black or white to blend with most exteriors.

How does this hinge stop my RV door from slamming or flying open?

The friction hinge uses adjustable resistance—similar to a laptop hinge—to hold the door at the position you set, absorbing gusts and resisting sudden movement. It replaces the need for bulky door catches or gas struts while providing steady, predictable operation.

• Holds door steady at any angle to prevent slamming.
• Tested to resist wind gusts up to 25 mph.
• Reduces stress on door frames and surrounding sidewalls.
• Works without extra external catches that can break or look unsightly.

Is installation difficult — will I have to remove my door?

Installation is designed for do-it-yourselfers and does not require removing the door or replacing existing hinge plates. The kit includes the hinge assemblies and all screws you’ll need, so most installations take only a short time with basic tools.

• No door removal needed: retrofit over your current hinges.
• Kit includes two hinge assemblies and 26 screws for a full install.
• Compatible with Lippert entry door models and Challenger series 450–3000.
• Available in black or white to match your RV finish.

Will this work on my camper, fifth wheel, or motorhome door?

This friction hinge kit was engineered for RV use and fits a broad range of Lippert doors, including several Challenger Door Series models. If your door is a standard Lippert or Challenger entry style, this kit is a likely fit and will enhance control without complex modifications.

• Fits Lippert entry doors and Challenger Door Series 450, 805, 950, 975, 3000.
• Ideal for travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes with compatible hinge geometry.
• Designed to work with existing hinge hardware—no custom fabrication required.
• Supplied hardware streamlines the retrofit process.

What maintenance or adjustments are required after installation?

Once installed, the friction hinge needs minimal upkeep: periodic inspection and occasional screw tightening keep it functioning smoothly. If desired, you can fine-tune the hinge resistance for heavier or lighter doors to match how you use the entryway.

• Inspect mounting screws and hinge alignment yearly.
• Adjust friction tension if door weight or wind exposure changes.
• Clean and lubricate pivot points occasionally for long life.
• Replace with an identical kit if extreme wear occurs.

Who is this for: The Lippert Friction Hinge Kit is intended for RV owners wanting a low-cost, low-effort way to improve door control and prolong entryway hardware life. It’s especially useful for those who frequently park in windy areas, want to avoid adding gas struts, or prefer a tidy, integrated look over bulky external catches. Technically inclined DIYers, RV service shops, and fleet operators all benefit from the straightforward fit, included fasteners, and compatibility with popular Lippert and Challenger door models.
