BY no means were we hating on you for doing the tube doors.. we are hating on the company who sold you 50 dollars worth of tube at a stupid mark up.


Maybe I should sell my own kits, but I will include notched ends and squaring jig

K so today I cut out a piece of metal to go on the rounded end so I can mount the latch to .. I closed the other end up with a piece of 1/8"x 1 1/4"x1 1/4" angle and mounted the top hinge piece ... For the hinge I use a 1/4" bolt about 1 1-4 long welded to a 1/4 anchor form my work .. The bolt is a tight fight so I used a die grinder to slim it up a lil ... On the the door the hing pieces are about 12" from top of the top hinge to the top of the bottom hinge ... My door as it sits is 3'1" long

Do they give you the measurements of how long they are in the item description?

If I had accurate stuff to go off of, I could notch the tubes so it woud look clean when done.

No they don't all they say is that they are made big and will need to be cut down
