Re: New deck is done, boat is back together!
I used extra long supports to mount the springs on the door, so when the door closes the springs actually go past the point in which they are all the way compressed and actually start extending again very slightly when the door is all the way closed. So there is essentially 100 lbs of pressure keeping the door closed (maybe?? I'm not an engineer, but it works). If I ever have a problem with the door opening on its own I'll fashion a latch of some sort, but so far it wants to stay closed.
