I have a couple of tips on these pre-made doors.
Make sure to measure once, twice, three times before you cut. You might want to mock up the door opening in cardboard first. The size of the opening is smaller than you expect. I used the inner ring as a template and the door opening was too big.
Make sure you set the door bottom at the top of your mattress so you can roll out of bed and exit without pinching your legs on the aluminum edge.
Third, the doors are a little tight to close at first. You have to really slam them from the inside which can wake up your partner. The other technique is to pull real hard and push on the frame. My 11 year old can't figure them out.
Surf the forum for problems with leaks along the lower edge when towing in heavy rain. I have not encountered this problem yet.
Overall I really like them.
