John-
I just installed my doors and latches last week but when I look at the door
, it appears that it would be quite easy to add a flange extending down an
inch or so right in the middle of the door frame, aft of the latch guard.
=C2- At this point, the inside of the door frame is a bout 1/8 proud of t
he fuselage, just enough space for a piece of weather seal.=C2- This woul
d be very simple to do.=C2-

One solution that has been presented here a long time ago, I liked for it
=C2=B4s
simplicity and added safety.
Somebody had simply put an overcentering hook on the door sill, which after
closing the door would be engaged on a small ridge on the door, or vice
versa.
Lightweight, easy to do and it provides a very good second locking of the
door preventing the door from opening in flight, should the standard lockin
g
mechanism fail.

One of my doors bows out proud of the fuselage along its lower edge,
evidently the door frame is too curved along the bottom.
Has anyone else encountered this and tried remodelling the frame
(perspex not in yet) with gentle heat ?
Or any other ideas ?
