* The Aerosport low profile door handle kit makes an assumption on the thickness of the two door halves bonded together of some 160/1000th. There is no mechanism of coping with other thicknesses. If you drill the door mechanism holes before the bonding, and use clecos during curing, the halves will sit together very tightly in the door lock area, and the wall will only be about 112/1000th thick. So you are missing some 50/1000th of door thickness. This will manifest itself in the outer lock cover not wanting to sit down flush. If your wall thickness is more than 160/1000th, the door lock will sit recessed in the cover. Workaround for too thin walls is to make a spacer that sits underneath the strike plate with holes having the diameter of the holes in the outer door. | * The Aerosport low profile door handle kit makes an assumption on the thickness of the two door halves bonded together of some 160/1000th.
