INSTALLATION OF LATCH BOARDS
The lock plate for the door security system for this aircraft is probably best
accomplished by gluing a short section of piping to the front and aft door frames. Use
about 1 inch long section, or a perforated piece of steel to make a hard locking surface
enemy of the locking pin. Tape off the door surface for the insert binding will not bond
to the door, and wax on the latch pin end so it won’t be glued in place. Close one of the
two doors, and position the door with tape or screws and shims in the desired location.
Sliding one of the hard insert parts into each of the locking pins (making a rubber washer
for the door’s insertion space will aid in positioning this system). Adjust the location of
these hard inserts such that the open end is spaced properly from the edge of the door
frame so that the clear pin is in the open latch position, and with a combination of wet
BID and phlox, bond them to the door frame. “Tack Gluing is probably a good idea at
first, and opening and closing the door carefully to ensure correct placement of the inserts.
When sure of the proper location fill, and complete the binding and closing of the glass
inserts and added FLOX. When completed on one side of the other latch system in the
same way. (see picture)
