>door needs to be locked shut<

You can do it all with the door on the bench as long as you  measure
accurately the span of the door when in the fuselage, then restrain it with
strips clamped to the bench to keep the same curvature. Pairs of sandbags
tied together and draped draped over the perspex will hold it down.  The
important thing is to ensure the  edge thickness (plus the redux)   is small
enough to fit in the rebate in the first place. The early kits  certainly
seemed to have a mismatch here.  But the old hands will now be having a
feeling a deja vue, so be sure to search "allmsgs".
