My trailer is aluminum skin over 1/2" (really 15/32")plywood, then 1" pink foam insulation, and 1/8" ply on the inside. Technically, my total wall thickness is about 1 5/8". I'd like to build my door essentially the same way. Could someone point to a good thread on the proper trim and such to put around the perimeter of my door opening and the perimeter of my door. I'll use T-molding, but I'll need some rubber gasket things to seal it (I'm guessing) and probably some aluminum channel to wrap the door opening? Sound about right?
I've got a source for hinges, but suggestions for a door opening mechanism (like a latch) would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!
