I have always loved the simplicity of the GT door system. With some help from Ron I have begun the assembly process. I was fortunate enough to be able to borrow a riv nut installation tool from work. With one pull of the trigger the riv nut is installed and the tool then reverses it self to separate it from the door & new riv nut.

Because I had the riv nut tool and because I simply thought it looked cool I chose to use fasteners instead of the conventional plastic push pins. Next I needed to open up the existing opening 1/4 inch down & 1/4 inch forward.
