So, in my seemingly never ending pursuit of the items and products I will need for my off-raod foamie build I am looking for manufacturers of quality/secure (as secure as a camper can be anyway) cargo storage doors. Basically what I have in mind is one that similar to the typical manufactures teardrop door such as Vintage Technology. Lippert etc. But of course much smaller with no need for insulation. I would prefer to not have a plastic door.
Many of the premade off-road type trailers use a door I like but I can't find an actual supplier. Lots of plastic and cheap locks (if they lock at all)
Has anyone found one? A Google search really isn't coming up with any results. Im sure one is out there but my
Google-Fu is weak today.
BTW I will be making my own box so I just need a door,

Thanks
Darrell

Search Amazon for RecPro baggage doors, this is what I used, a good seal, hurricane hinge, metal surround with fiberglass door and insulated. Several years in, durable. The one I got was made by Challenger in the USA if that matters to you. Available in black or white and many sizes.
 
if you have not got your doors .Are jams and door blanks run about $35 to 45
A door is the easiest part to build. It is the jam that holds the seal. . You have to forget about wood so many reasons why. . find some tube about 3 feet long as a mold as thick as you need the jam . lay on something flat. wax lay up mat , some woven with poly resin. NO F#####EXPOY !!!! you will have a Z shape cut to shape you you have lip on out side . set back for door thickness, the lip for door seal the door can be made from anything NO F#####EXPOY !!!! . Doors you can fix forever, the other not so much. We do reset hinges cost under$2.00 bend in a vice
