Suicide Doors?

Post by row1 »

Hey People!

The name of this thread is fairly self explanatory.

Suicide doors, how do you go about fitting them, where can I buy the hinges from?

Is it a hard job fitting them?

Dad is a panel beater but he's never attempted anything like that before

We just wanted to know is it a big\hard job?


Is it legal in QLD?

Would someone please be able to give me as much info as possible.

Cheers

You can buy kits from John's Rod and Custom in Berwick, Vic. No idea on price.. As for legality talk to an engineer.

As for if it can be done anything is possible it all takes time....
