    exterior entry door?

    Hi guys,
    I'm wonder if anybody put a friction hindges or something to prevent the door from being whipped open from wind especially when a kid is opening the door to get out or in.

    nwm - I recall one other time this topic came up and here is that thread: https://www.mygrandrv.com/fo...light=friction

    I like the hinges as well after experiencing them on my sister-in-law's Augusta but not have installed them on our 303 as we have been thinking about moving to a new GDRV product.

    Sounds like a great addition we'd like to try on our Reflection in the near future.

    Was looking at a new Reflection 303 at a local dealer, just a couple of weeks ago . . . and it had friction hinges on the entry door.

    Thanks for the link. From that thread I found about where to buy it. LCI part #258548 6 leaf black. It fits on LCI doors for the Reflection 28BH.

    We have had our ordered 303 for 10 days now and ours came with the friction hinge. I love it as we have been having a lot of windy days here and the wife and I can go in and out while loading without worrying about the door slamming into the unit. I've had it open when I was doing some work and needed the door open and the wind came up and hardly moved the door.

    If you should install it you'll love it.

    We ordered our 2800BH in September and brought it home this weekend. Both entry doors came with friction hinges. However, one of the screen doors rubs against the strike plate. How can I adjust this? Also the top of the main door slightly rubs against the rain gutter, thoughts? Has anybody else had this issue?
