Thanks ACollette - I think I will incorporate that door kit thing
Thanks ACollette - I think I will incorporate that door kit thing
I framed out an opening in the front of the arch using 2x2 angle.
Then I built a door frame similarly
I would like to go back and re-do two things, but no biggie - this will work fine.
I will likely use ceramic board insulation in the door and sandwich it between two sheets.
I purchased some wood stove door rope from amazon and will place it so that it gets sandwiched between the "interlocking" angle
I bought the cam door lock kit and will mount it like the following - with the latch stowing away on the door as opposed to the other way I have seen it where the latch mechanism crosses the door opening.
Here is the model (from our Leader 2x6)

The door locking mechanism is complete.
I bought the cam lock kit from eTrailer.com
Thanks for the suggestion - I would recommend this to everyone who is spending the time to build an arch - you can't ask for a better latching and locking mechanism. Leader uses it on their arches.

All that is left are some skin panels, paint and insulation!
Just in time
Skinned door and sides. Need to cut and weld the bottom. Then paint!
