Sliding Bathroom door problem

Question

I hate my sliding bathroom door that is 4" above the floor, and has no latch. I don't understand why they did not install a regular door with a handle, and lock. Is my only option to buy a new door, and cut it to fit the floor better, or can you order a door and jamb from Cedar Creek. I've looked at several rv's on line, and they all had real doors on the bath.

Most likely the reason that it is 4" off the floor is to allow air to be drawn thru the bathroom when you are using the bath ceiling fan. Also, a sliding door usually takes less space than a hinged door.

In many models of fifth-wheels, I wish that the manufacturer would have sliding doors rather than "regular" doors.

The easy fix would to buy a hollow core door and cut it to fix the size you want.  I have done this many times.  You have to figure how to do it but it is easy.chevman

It will be easier to figure out a latch than change the door.  Even if you do change the door, you still need several inches at the bottom for air circulation - why does that bother you?Bill

It doesn't bother me, it bothers my wife, and there is no way a fan needs 4" under a door to draw air through.Larry, I agree with you on the new door as the best solution so far.
