Door skin fitting..


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

Anyone have any experience with just fitting a new door skin?

There are some on EBay which are galvanised steel at a fair price. They suggest that it is just a simple case of unfolding your old skin, laying the frame onto their nice new skin, a dab of sealer then fold over the edge job done..

My frames are good rust free late ones so rust isn't a problem..

Can it be this simple...?

Any thoughts..?

Cheers,

Dave..

I did it a while ago with a pair of push-button Defender doors. I had the frames blasted and red-oxide sprayed, and etch primed the inside of the skins for protection, and then applied seam sealer between the frame and skin before fitting, but that was messy and made the joints to thick, making a neat fit tricky. In retrospect, using high quality dust tape over the frame faces that contact the skin would have been neater and easier and would have given perfect results.
