Chereau trailer locks and security hardware
Truckstop Group is the sole UK distributor for Chereau trailer parts, covering the full range of replacement components for Chereau refrigerated trailers operating in the UK cold chain. Security and locking hardware covers rear door locks, lock rods, locking bars, door hinges and door seals, all of which are maintenance items on trailers that undergo daily loading and unloading cycles.
Rear door locks on refrigerated trailers are exposed to the elements and to repeated mechanical operation under load. Lock rods and locking bars can bend or seize, hinges wear and develop play, and locking pawls and strikers wear over time. Using correct Chereau-specification replacement parts is important for maintaining the structural and thermal integrity of the trailer door system, particularly on temperature-controlled trailers where door seal performance directly affects unit efficiency.
Call our team with your Chereau trailer serial number to confirm the correct lock or security component for your build. UK nationwide delivery or same-day collection from our branches.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy genuine Chereau trailer parts in the UK?
Truckstop Group is the sole authorised UK distributor for Chereau trailer parts. All Chereau parts supplied through Truckstop are genuine Chereau components. Call our team with your trailer serial number and the part you need and we can confirm availability from our stock.
How often do Chereau trailer door locks need servicing?
Chereau trailer door lock rods, locking bars and hinges should be inspected at each PMI (planned maintenance inspection). Lubrication of lock rods and hinge pivot points at each inspection extends service life. Lock rod adjusters should be checked for correct engagement and adjusted where necessary. Replace worn or bent rods before they cause damage to the lock housing or door frame.
Can I use non-Chereau lock rods on a Chereau trailer?
Non-Chereau lock rods may not match the dimensional and material specification of the original components, which can cause incorrect engagement with the locking hardware and accelerated wear. For trailers in regular commercial service, using genuine Chereau parts through Truckstop Group ensures correct fit and maintains the trailer's load security compliance.
