Our cabin doors are easy to use in a wall of 60 to 85 millimeters. If the wall thickness is less than 60 millimeters, the wall must be filled and reinforced on the inside by means of a frame. For wall thicknesses above 85 millimeters, the frame does not extend to the interior side of the wall.
Safety and installation instructions
Please carefully read the prescribed safety instructions and stipulations from the vehicle manufacturer and service workshops.
Leave all the coloured spacers in their current position until the cabin door is completely installed!
We strongly suggest to check before starting the installation if this is having an impact on the vehicle registration. This to avoid possible problems with government authorities and/ or with your insurance company.
Outbound accepts no liability for damage in the following cases:

Instructions before installation
Before installation, check the wall thickness of your vehicle. The Outbound cabin door can be used without modification in a 60 to 85 mm thick wall. Depending on the construction it can be necessary to reinforcethe wall.
Below 60 mm we ask you to fill and reinforce the wall with a frame.
Note: We recommend installing a water seal between the living space and the cabin.
When choosing the installation location, observe the following:
- The cabin door is meant to be used as a pass through door between cabin and living area. Thedoor has 2 standard door handles and has a standard knob cilinder on the inside living area, and akey cilinder on the outside.
- The cabin door is opening to the inside of the living area and can be orderedwith the hinge on the left or the right side. The cabin door can be opened 180°.
- Doors and hatches are produced with a single fitting key, unless ordered otherwise.
- Adjoining components (attachment and reinforcing parts), cables and cabinets in the vehicleinterior must not get damaged when sawing the hole.
- Sufficient space needs to be available for installing the frame.
- Only install the frame on flat surfaces and do not bend the frame.
- Torsion and tension in the box and vehicle can damage the cabin door e.g. causing cracks andproblems with closing.
- Check if the product measurements match the drawing measurements.
- Check the positioning of the cabin door on the in- and outside of the vehicle.
- Mount the cabin door with the hinge on the inside of the box.
Warning!Do NOT remove the coloured spacers! The purpose of these spacers is to maintain a uniform gap around the product, for easy installation. We advise to leave them in place until the installation is completely finished and the adhesive has set. remature removal of the coloured spacers can lead to deformation of the frame.
Pressing / cutting out the hole
Make the cut-out according to the drawing. In the drawing and the diagram with the measurements, a margin has already been taken into account in order to install the products. Always place the product tension-free.

Installing the Outbound cabin door
Preparation of the installation surface and product
- Sand the to be glued surface with sandpaper, clean and degrease the surface you want to glue.
- Then apply activator (or equivalent) according to the instruction of the glue-manufacturer.
- Primer can be necessary according to the instructions of the glue-manufacturer.
Installation of the cabin door
- Apply adhesive to the framework.
- Place the framework in the opening and apply pressure to the frame.
- Unlock the handle so there is no tension on the frame, do not open the cabin door and leave the coloured spacers in their position.
- Make sure the frame is completely straight, not bent or twisted in any direction, specifically at the position of the lock.
- Visually check that all the adhesive comes out completely from under the frame and that the outer frame is fully in contact with the wall surface, without any gaps left.
- Remove excessive adhesive immediately after the installation.
- Do not open the product and do not use clamps to clamp the frame in the wall panel. Tape is a good alternative.
- Allow the adhesive to set for 24 hours.
- Once the adhesive is set and has sufficient strength, check if the wall panel is still flat and even. A not flat or not straight wall panel will influence the functioning and closing of the Outbound cabin door and can result in a product that is not waterproof.
- Check the door frame on positioning and closing of the cabin door and lock. Make sure the coloured spacers are back in position afterwards.
- Close the door and make sure the wall and door are completely straight and flat, this is especially important near the lock. If needed use the spacers to make sure everything is straight.
- Finish the outside seam with adhesive (or equivalent).
- After 24 hours the coloured spacers can be removed and the product can be used.
Making a final check
After installing, check if the door works properly. If necessary, enter the new vehicle weight in the vehicle documents.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Please inform us accordingly when you place your order.
The cabin door swings open to the living area.
The fiberglass-reinforced plastic parts are gel coated. Sanding these lightly allows the frame to be sprayed without any problems. For this purpose, we can supply the self-adhesive sealing rubbers separately. Please inform us at point of order.
The products in your order will have identical locks, unless otherwise specified by you.
The fiberglass-reinforced plastic parts are produced as a single piece using molds. Because of this, we provide beautiful seamless products, but sizes on demand are not available.
