[C320-list] Companionway Doors

[Ted Barto]

John, When you ordered your doors did you have to make the extensive 
measurements they suggest on the website or are our boats standard enough 
not to require that?  Ted #880

I just recently installed the ZARCOR doors and we think they are great for 
the cruising we do here on Lake Ontario; the bug screens change out very 
conveniently. They are a snap to install if you follow the instructions on 
the CD that comes with them. If I have a complaint at all it would have to 
do with the locking system. We went with the combination lock and if doing 
again wouldn't bother. I would go for a lock and hasp.
