No I'm not a Paraplegic, just a Wheeler. To install that door, I cut out the existing door with a dremel tool. cleaned up the opening with a file and installed the door from the inside.

I sold that unit a couple of years ago, so I don't have any pictures to show you. But the install was pretty straight forward.

Thank you very much I'll give that a go.
