One solution that has been presented here a long time ago, I liked for its
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 locking
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 ?
