Elite Veteran Posts: 707 Location: The stix of Utah	Our new trailer did not come with a door organizer. I didn't mind because I bought a classic equine organizer for relatively cheap and figured I could install it myself. Now I'm nervous to drill in to my door until I know exactly what I am doing. Has anyone installed on of these in their own trailer? What did you use and how did you attach it? It has rings at the top so I'm thinking some sort of hook? How do I attach the bottom so that it doesn't blow around when my tack room door is open? Help me!! (Trailer Caddy.jpg) Attachments ---------------- Trailer Caddy.jpg (27KB - 279 downloads)

	Put a bridle hook on the inside of door and hook the organizer on it at the top .. Use some Velcro strips to steady the bottom .... to the door .. Your door should have a hollow frame that you can drill a hole and screw the rack onto without any problems ... hole should be smaller than the screws you use ... If steel door ... squirt holes with paint to prevent rust ... if aluminum .. no problem with rust You can buy individual hooks at TSC and most hardware stores (BRIDLE HOOKS.jpg) Attachments ---------------- BRIDLE HOOKS.jpg (26KB - 184 downloads)

Super easy. If it doesn't have some sort of tie or hole for screws at the bottom, then I'd buy a roll of velcro and stick one side on trailer, other side on the organizer and you'll be good to go!

Mine definitely didn't come with any metal brackets. I'll have to look in to that. Thanks everyone for the ideas! It definitely helps a lot!
