[C320-list] Zarcor Doors

[John Phillippe]

Jason,

They work great.  Fast to open and close.  Be sure to get a snug fit at
installation.  I have my doors set up so that they are about 1/8 inch
tighter then the opening so that they "snap" closed.  This provides a good
air seal and rain barrier. Hot Hot on KY Lake this summer.
