REFLECTOR: Door lock

[Barber Law Firm]

Hmmm, I have a manual circa 2002 and I have used the newer online manuals
and what I used and was supplied was the pin sticking out the pilot side.
It always struck me as odd that the co-pilot side had a handle, but no pin
to lift from the outside so as to open the door, thus even though you had a
handle, you could not open the door from the outside.  I asked Brandon about
this once and he felt it was just a hold over from before they included the
secondary locking pin (following a door opening in flight, I believe....but
don't know for sure.  Seems as if that would be a very bad thing).   If
anyone comes across the plans for the mod, or where they are in the online
manuals, I too would appreciate a copy or the link.  It may be too much of a
hassle to change, but I would like to see so I can determine if it would be.
Thanks.

All the best,

Chris
