John,
Agreed. You could use cast iron hinges and theyd just tear up the fiberglass
when
the door departed. One must absolutely, positively, make sure both bolt shoots
are in place. I have a strap attached to the inside lower rear corner of
my doors that allows me to pull that corner in when I latch the door. I had
microswitches for a while but they tended to get out of adjustment and wear
causing
false warnings. The strap is much better at confirming the rear shoots
are in place and the door properly latched.
Same 404 error when I try to access the photos.
