All doors, door openings, drip rails, and other exposed steel edges are to be hemmed for strength, safety, and resistance to corrosion. Floor The floor plate is to be constructed of a minimum of 12 gauge treadplate with a 1 3/8 return flange on each side. The side compartment back panel should overlap and interlock with the floor flange, providing support for the weight of the side compartment.

The latches must also have an internal injection molded glass and mineral infused UV resistant nylon cover for protection from the contents of the compartments. The rotary latches are to be slam latchable. The latching cams are to be elongated to allow the latches to move vertically relative to the lock strikes to prevent torsional damage. Microcellular urethane foam gaskets are to be installed between the latch flange and the outer door skin to prevent moisture from entering the compartment behind the latch.
