== 180 Degree Door Latch and Low Profile Handle Hints == | |||
* The Aerosport door handle kit assumes a bonded wall thickness of approximately 0.160 inches. It does not include a mechanism to accommodate deviations from this thickness.<br>If the door mechanism holes are drilled prior to bonding, and clecos are used during curing, the door halves may compress tightly in the lock area. This can result in a final wall thickness of only about 0.112 inches—leaving a 0.050-inch discrepancy. This difference will cause the outer lock cover to sit proud and not flush with the surface.<br>Conversely, if your wall thickness exceeds 0.160 inches, the lock cylinder will sit recessed within the outer cover.<br>For doors with thinner walls, a workaround is to fabricate a spacer to mount beneath the strike plate. This spacer should have holes that match the diameter of those in the door skin. For doors with thicker walls, consider designing a 3D-printed collar around the lock cylinder that will raise it to be flush with the cover.<br>See also this [https://www.facebook.com/groups/vansrv10/posts/10086580921462916 FB Post]<br>[[File:2025-07-09 12-48-09.jpg|100px]] | |||
