[QUOTE="SkidRoe, post: 60599, member: 3290"] I finally collected all of the parts that I needed to build my door. The final piece was the threshold plate for the bottom of the door. I was going to build one, but then I checked with the dealer. It was only $40, so I bought one instead. The lift-off hinges and slam latch came from a place up here in Ontario called Spaenaur (the Canadian version of McMaster-Carr). The latch is a really nice one piece, lockable unit with a paddle style handle and an automotive bear-trap style closure. I scored a piece of 3/8” lexan from the local classifieds, which negated the need for a door frame. So, here it is: [IMG width="620px" height="826px"]http://i851.photobucket.com/albums/ab73/SkidRoe/31d191147b537950642d0a547f03470f.jpg?t=1353780987[/IMG] [IMG width="620px" height="826px"]http://i851.photobucket.com/albums/ab73/SkidRoe/c9a523f2ef8b362e83d037f90e9e670e.jpg?t=1353780982[/IMG] [IMG width="620px" height="826px"]http://i851.photobucket.com/albums/ab73/SkidRoe/856014fc3393b1c40ac8eb9e8a415593.jpg?t=1353780978[/IMG] [IMG width="620px" height="826px"]http://i851.photobucket.com/albums/ab73/SkidRoe/4d470d4256ce6eeb19e6f9e381ed0ce9.jpg?t=1353780979[/IMG] [IMG width="620px" height="826px"]http://i851.photobucket.com/albums/ab73/SkidRoe/b286233a23168e0442e0b37ecf8593f3.jpg?t=1353780984[/IMG] I installed some self-adhesive closed-cell weather stripping around the perimeter of the door, more for vibration control than for sealing.
