Hi! The door on my trailer has 2 seams (you can see them here in the second photo -- imgur.com/a/ZCi5C). The door is pulling apart at the seams. Since it's all metal and the seams are tiny, I can't even begin to imagine how to fix them. Do I just glue them back together with some powerful glue? Thoughts? Thanks! |

Sorry Elizabeth...could you give us some close ups of the door assembly. I just see the one picture of the trailer with a very cute little someone standing next to it--is the below what you wanted to post? (just right click on the image on your photo host and choose copy image url, click on the picture of landscape on the toolbar above and paste it in where is says image url. Is it riveted? If so I think you'll need a riveting tool to take it apart and re build. Not my area of knowledge so I best shut my trap. My door has aluminum skin on it and is framed the same as the rest of the trailer with birch on the inside and 1x2s for the door frame and then trimmed around with a u shaped channel. Was pretty easy to rebuild.  |

Thanks, gonekayaking. I appreciate the photo help, too! No, it's not riveted. I can't get a much better pic, but the close ups just look weird. But I talked to someone locally today. He thinks he can do something about it. I mainly think it needs a new frame on the inside and then the outer frame, which is some weird material (looks and feels a lot like plastic but may be metal?) could be pushed back into place, if it all were done very tightly. Not sure, though... Thanks anyhow!
