Nice build. some good ideas for door i want to build as well. As i watched i was wondering about overlap sealing on hinge side seeing you used piano hinge. Curious how rain has treated that hinge side. Any leaks? I'd rather go with over lap on all 4 sides but that means strap hinges which i don't want. I'm thinking particularly of driving with heavy rain for hours.
The costs putting in the door were about $300 for the metal structure I added as well as the z-angle aluminum, and other aluminum trim pieces. I didn't include the wood cost in that estimate, I had the plywood on hand.
I found it on Amazon by a company called orange aluminum. Here is a link to the one I used. www.amazon.com/Orange-Aluminum-Z-Channel-Extrusion-Applications/dp/B0711QPM45?crid=17DY870QHGOB5&keywords=orange+aluminum+z+bar&qid=1675892793&sprefix=orange+aluminum+z+bar,aps,165&sr=8-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=adv301-20&linkId=bb6ab5c81e2fec5ac2813e8b707e56f9&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
This was exactly the video I needed at the exact time I needed it. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!

Zero leaks, even in pouring rain on the highway. There is an overlap on the inside too, so even if some moisture got in, it wouldn't get far
I need welder like u .😊
What’s the aluminum you used to make the door frame on the trailer ?
Its this z-channel I found on amazon: amzn.to/3JOif9f
How much did it take you to complete this project??

To cut out the hole? A Jigsaw would be best if you have to go through wood and metal.
