 My
doors have a story of there own, the first set from CRP were made with
NO support for the door hinge… click
here to see more details and photos of how CRP made all of there door.
After figuring
out that my door did not have the hinge plate mounted to any steel, I
brought my doors back to CRP to show them that there was no steel in the
doors. Seeing the problem, I was told that I would get a new set of doors
and my old doors were thrown in the dumpster (so I am told) and a new
set of doors would be made... a month later CRP went of out business and
I was stuck with out doors.
There was an
employee working at CRP (Will Rietveld) who felt sorry for me, after promising
me a new set of doors, and never receiving them... Will took it on himself
to honor his word, and build me another set of doors.
Let me explain, Will was an
employee of Steve's (CRP) and when he saw all the crap that Steve had
done to his customers he felt bad (Will is actually reliable, accountable
and responsible – not the normal trade mark of CRP). After CRP went
out of business, Will was determined to not let me hang. He made a deal
with Monty Robinson (another CRP victim with bad doors), to make a copy
of Monty’s SV CRP doors and build a new set of doors as a two piece
door (inner and outer door). This way I can mount the inner door to the
hinge, then mount all the window mechanism and when everything is working
then I can place the outer skin onto the inner door frame.
My personal thanks goes out
to Will and Monty for helping me out in getting me a new set of doors.
With out there efforts, I would be door-less... having to use another
manufactures doors, which as we all know they would not fit and I would
have had to rework them to make them work. As if the doors are not hard
enough to work on with out all these kinds of problems. |
