Hi Guys My doors also took a beating this winter. The bottom 1/3 facing out was pretty bad…
My buddy took the doors, replaced some of the rotten frame and completely refinished them. We used stainless steel plate (as a kick plate) to cover the really bad areas He stripped the many layers of Cetol off with a heat gun and reapplied 5 coats including a final glossy coat. He even soaked the hinges in Lacquer thinner and they look brand new! Doors look perfect now!

I have a good buddy with a killer woodshop who is going to work with me to build a new door starting in May sometime. We'll see. By the way he thought you might be able to rout out the plastic door to accept hollow core hardware.

I found a good shop to cut and polish a nice polycarbonate tinted door for me and the fitament is great. They did a nice job. My challenge has been the hardware to put it all together. I have found VERY little I like for lockable door knob hardware (stainless of course) that works without it being a hollow core door. I have used West Marine, Fisheries Supply and a few others with little luck. Im holding off until I find the right hardware. Honestly, if I could have found someone in the Puget Sound area that didn't want to charge me a ridiculous $2k+ to build me a new door, I would have gone with a wooden one. I know they are more work but I like the more classic look better. The Polycarbonate will be very easy to clean, will never rot and is plenty stout to keep people out that I would want to keep out. -Kerry -Kerry On Wed, Mar 18, 2015 at 9:36 AM, Bob S <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Well, the rain this winter has permanently ruined the look of my cabin door, finally. (42' aft cabin 1973) I would love to see some pictures of the way people have dealt with a door change. Kerry, I know you were working on a new plastic door. Is it done? I'd love to hear how it came out. I have to do something before this summer. Also I feel the need to put new hardware to replace the cheap plastic original knob which will mean a change in the framing as well.
