These single piece doors are made from 12mm aluminium tubing and covered with .8mm Polycarbonate and are hinged at the top with a piano hinge. They are curved outwards at the center giving approx.  8 to 10 cm extra space in the cabin just where you need it (at your shoulders & elbow). Gas shocks are fitted to keep the door open when entering the aircraft.
