Yes, Yes I have.

There are problems with these "window Hatches"

First off they will need new locks....$50-60 There are no inside handels to open them. Once your inside with the doors shut...your locked in, and must get somebody outside to let you out.

Second there not made to hang by there side. They are made as a hatch with the hinge at the top. Over time the hinges will ware, the door will sag and drag along the bottom and eventuly not close

Third if your using a pair, one of the windows will have to be flipped (so the screen is at the bottom). And the windows are made to be mounted Horizontaly NOT vertically. If mounted Vertically new "weep holes" must be added.

But yeah...they do look nice. And can be made to work. But are not ready to go "right out of the box".

Happy Trails
