THE LIST should include, in addition to duct tape and WD-40, bungee cords. 
 My straight load, 2-horse bumper-pull tack doors and manger doors will 
close on you in a heart beat.  To keep them open, I use 2 bungee cords. 
They hook together easily and quickly, are out of the way at the front of 
the trailer and I can groom and tack up without having to open my tack 
compartment over and over or getting hit in the back while getting 
something out.  Likewise, they simplify cleaning out the mangers after a 
ride.  There is always SOME way to attach them somewhere on the trailer. 
For the rear doors, 2 bungees should reach the escape door, or hub cap or 
fender.  You don't leave them for any length of time - only long enough to 
do whatever chore you are faced with.
