Lippert Components RV entry door friction hinge kit — Pack of 2, adjustable friction, black or white

Lippert Components Friction Hinge Kit is a bolt-on upgrade that stabilizes and holds RV entry doors in position, preventing wind-driven slams and unwanted movement. Made for 5th wheels, travel trailers and motorhomes, this two-hinge kit adds durable, adjustable friction to your existing door hardware so the door stays where you set it without gas struts or bulky catches. The package includes two hinge assemblies and the screws required for a straightforward installation that doesn’t require removing the door. Available in black or white, the kit matches common RV finishes and is built to resist wind gusts up to 25 mph.

How does the friction hinge improve door control?

The friction hinge adds resistance inside the hinge pivot so the door holds any position you choose—similar to the hinge on a laptop screen. That means the door won’t swing open in a breeze or slam shut unexpectedly, giving you safer, calmer entry and exit.

• Maintains door position without extra hardware
• Stops doors from slamming or flapping in wind gusts
• Adjustable friction for tailored operation
• Reduces wear on door frame and surrounding sidewalls

Is installation difficult and will I need to remove my door?

Installation is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers alike: you do not need to remove the door or replace existing hinges. The kit ships with all the screws you need; simply mount the friction assemblies onto the current hinge locations and tighten to spec.

• Works with existing hinge placements—no door removal required
• Comes with hinge assemblies (2) and 26 screws
• Ideal for quick retrofit upgrades at the campground or shop
