Ours has holders on all 3 gates. They should have something to hold them open. The new style looks like half of a football so the gate slides up it and drops off the end to hold it.Does anybody have side or front or rear gate door holders or stays when gates are open .

Thanks for the reply on the door stops... HossHi Hoss,
We normally put a gate stop in the stern gate area (unless a galley interferes with placement.) We do not install stops around the forward gates because they can be toe stubbers/trip hazards. That being said, dealers can purchase add'l stops and install them for you quite easily if you would like them. We are re-evaluating the gate stop idea heading into the 2013 model year. TB
Maybe make them optional on each gate. I don't like the darn toe stubbers.....or stepping on them. I certainly don't want them factory installed on all gates. You're right, they don't cost that much. Buy them and install them yourself. B)TB ... my vote is to install them on all gates and if we want to remove them because they're toe-stubbers it will be easier for us than ordering them through our Bennington dealer. (They can't cost that much!!)
Agree, though I don't see a lot of difference in toe stubbing then in the u shaped catch to hold the front of the door already installed. I just ordered a pair from Overtons ($6.99) and will try to locate them as close to the hinge side as possible to save the toe stubbing phenomenon. (Did I spell that right?).
