Re: Al Knoch Door Panels
Thanks. My originals were probably exposed to water at some point, some damage to the paper fiber backing. One has a dent in the vinyl at the bottom where there's a lot of padding. If he can repair or replace the backing panel, reskin with new padding, that would be ideal. I don't know how their processes are set up, whether this is practical. I'm waiting to hear back from them in response to an email asking similar questions. My other option may be to buy new paper fiber backed panels from them. My concern with those is whether the top steel plate which the panel is built on fits the contour of the top of the door. The pair I bought back in the mid 90's does not, causing the panel to sit high on the door, lock shaft is misaligned. It's been many years now, I'd give them another shot if I can be certain they'll lay flat on the door, top of the panel follows the contour of the door.
