I'm working on designing the galley hatch, the aluminum trim and the seals. Couple of questions I'd like to ask:
I notice some hatch doors have the seals and the trim they're attached to on the underside of T molding on the galley door itself. Others seem to have the seal (and the track they're attached to) on the 2 side walls of the cabin.
I kind of like the seals on the door as there can also be a seal added on the horizontal bottom of the door where it closes onto the galley floor. If the seals are fixed to the top surfaces of the left and right galley sidewalls (where the galley hatch closes down on top of those seals) I'm not quite sure where that bottom horizontal seal would be placed, on the door or on the galley floor. A bit confused about the seals and trim for the galley door.
The other question.... where the hurricane hinge for the galley hatch is located, there seems to be a space between the 2 two hinges... where it seems water would certainly have a chance to enter. I've attached an image to show what I'm seeing. Any thoughts about how that space is resolved?
Any insights would be appreciated. Also, any sources for good pictures, either on the interweb or other, would be great how to set up the hatch trim and seals.
Thanks very much!!
