Hey themajor, glad to hear your building. The latches on the outside are usually an L shape handle & the inside are a spoon shape handle you can get from an RV dealer or order them from Grant. He also has T molding for the outside of the door. If your doors have rounded corners I hear thats the place to get the deadsoft T molding for bending. If your door corners are 90 degrees you can get the T moldin they use for trap doors & stuff like that at your local carpet or flooring shop. Jsu finished my doors with latches inside & out. I am waiting for a little warmer weather so I can glue my skin on .

Good luck on your build. :thumbsup:


ps To get a hold of Grant , just give a holler on this forum & he'll get to ya.

Themajor,

Hello fellow Texas teardroper. Another place to get all the door latch hardware is Austin Hardware: http://www.austinhardware.com/default.asp?

They stock it all and at very good prices. I also bought the hatch lock hardware from them. Although their name is Austin, they are not in Austin but they do have a warehouse in the Dallas/Ft Worth area and I get deliveries from them via UPS ground in just a few days.
