Weather Guard Swing Door Conversion Kit, Model 96901-3-01

Overall, the Weather Guard 96901301 Door Conversion Kit has received mixed reviews from customers. While some users have found it to work well and provide easy access to the cargo area, others have faced issues with the installation and functionality of the product. One positive aspect of the door conversion kit is the included piano hinges and cam lock handle set, which have been praised for their effectiveness and security. Customers who have installed the kit on their van security cage have found it to be a good addition. However, there are a number of negative points that have been highlighted by users. One recurring issue is the missing or mismatched hardware, such as missing set screws and screws with incorrect threading. This has caused frustration and the need for customers to find replacement pieces from local hardware stores. Another common complaint is the difficulty in installing the kit, particularly if the bulkhead is already installed in the van. The additional width added by the hinges requires adjustments to be made, such as moving panels. Customers have suggested that Weather Guard should sell the bulkhead with a spacer to ensure a proper fit without modification. The documentation and instructions provided with the kit have also been criticized. Customers have found them unclear and difficult to follow, resulting in misalignments and frustrations with the installation process. One safety concern raised by a customer is that the door cannot be unlocked from the alternate side, potentially posing a danger in certain situations. This limitation should be addressed for improved usability. In terms of durability, some users have reported issues with the handle coming loose due to vibrations, emphasizing the need for thread lock on the inside cargo area handle. Overall, while the Weather Guard 96901301 Door Conversion Kit has its advantages in terms of security and access to the cargo area, it falls short in terms of missing hardware, difficult installation, unclear instructions, and limited functionality in unlocking from the alternate side.
