Baggage door piano hinge


Recommended Posts

Boiler.... I had mine replaced a few years ago. Some of the segments were ripped, I have a feeling someone took off and the door came open in flight causing the damage, it was before my time as owner. It is standard piano hinge that I bought from spruce. Same piece of hardware that was on the airplane originally.

Not being a sheet metal guy I had my shop do it. It was not a big expense do have the pro do it.

If you do it, the door will be off the plane, and its a good time to replace the door seal if it is showing signs of wear. That is a job I did, and most of it is the grunt work of removing the old sealant.
