Doors
Handles-- Outside or Inside
Doors are fitted and installed on the body with hinges, latches, and striker plates. Bear jaw type door latches are used. Inside handle mounts, for original type handles, are installed. A lockout linkage allows inside handle to be locked out.
The body is available with a smooth (no outside handle setup) or, at extra cost, setup for outside handles. The setup for outside handles includes mounts and linkage for the handles and key locks on both doors. Doors can be locked or unlocked from the inside or outside of the body. Key locks are included, outside handles are not included, original or reproduction handles may be used.

Hinges-- Hidden Hinge or Stock Look
Outside or hidden hinges are available. Outside hinge installation includes stock style check strap. Wescott hidden hinges are specially designed for our 1932 3-Window body and only protrude minimally (about 1/4") inside the door posts at the bottom only. Many hidden hinge applications cause the door to droop when open. The drop of the front of the door with our hinge design is only about 1" at full opening.
Weather Seal
The door jambs are modified to accept a full weather seal. |
