for reasons not understood by owners persist in using the expensive Hehr
doors on all models except the entry level Freeway. They are a great looking
door, but they just aren't practical for use in our hot, steamy climate.
The Camec Triple Lock doors have an excellent security screen and you
can sleep in reasonable safety with just the security door locked. Another
huge advantage of the Camec is it is wider allowing easy removal of the
refrigerator - impossible with the Hehr. The photos below were taken at
the planning meeting for the May 2003 CMCA Casino Rally. Both are work-arounds
to solve the problem. Des Lee from New England has placed a piece of grill
on the outside of the fly screen and pop rivetted it to the aluminium
frame. A double sided keyed lock has been placed near the normal lock.
(photo on the left). "Smokey" from the Banana Benders has taken
a slightly different approach. The photo (at right) really doesn't do
his design justice as he has fitted aluminium channel to all edges near
the sliding shutter. The only drawback with this design is you can't easily
replace the gauze. The big advantage is it's safer in the event of fire
etc. To get out you simply lift up three "U" pieces. It is slightly
stronger than Des's version however it should be remembered that either
door would not resist jemmying for long. Des and Smokey don't have email
so if you have any enquiries we suggest you look them up at Casino.
