I have a spare one, with frame, for the console front, but I am saving it for exactly that reason. This would be a nice addition to these wood shops products. Problem is, they look like they would be expensive to manufacture, or specially ordered to size from one of the larger companies that still make generic ones.

Cedar Lake used to make replacement doors however, they effectively shot themselves in the foot with horrible customer service and went out of business. Mike Stennet at Nautical Lumber (site sponsor) can make them but does not have them as a stock item. I have given him detailed images with dimensions on all of my old Outrage standard console doors and fire extinguisher box. Contact him for an idea on prices.

I know he has been looking for one so he can duplicate all the details exactly. I am sure he would be willing to return a favor though, I would want to speak for him.

Other than that it's not hard to make both the frames and the doors. When I replaced my console, I made new frames for the doors, rather than make new doors.

With a few cuts, you can make up a door to your specification. Don't recall the prices. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
