I think I would have placed 3/16 by 2 in x 18 in. angle iron over the weak broken area for maybe 18 in. long, what ever you have room for, then weld the hinges on. spread the load. just a thought.

My thought is it’s better to have an engineered breaking point than beef everything up resulting in more potential damage such as a completely bent door. As it sets now the factory hinge is the weak point and allows some bending when the door accidentally swings open while dumping. But you are right. I had a job and needed to put the trailer back to work. But deep down inside I wanted to add more support…

How about you fix it so there are ZERO breaking points? You'll be doing this job all over again.

[@robertnelson4755]

Why would you go through all that and not do it right? What to save $8.00? You should have run a new flat bar or angle iron down the length of the door.

I don't regret the way we made the repair. It has held up well and no issues where we made that fix. Honestly, these doors have been repaired a handful of times. Once they get beat up enough I would simply resort to installing a new gate entirely. It's a poor latching design which we have fixed by abandoning PJ's latch and adding our own.
