My door has cracked thru at the bottom of the dovetails on both sides at top and bottom. I glued the cracked pieces with epoxy, but also installed a couple of 3.5" SS screws at 4 locations from the sides and covered with teak plugs. Seems to be holding up ok so far.

I agree, thats a good idea. I also use SST screws (see below) and plugs in addition to the Dove-tail joints on my "new doors" to keep everything firmed up. It also reduces the chance of the dovetails starting to crack and open up in the future. Once they start splitting is hard to stop them....
