Dave has solved the magnetic pick-up problem for Van's door closed warning switch using the door guides he makes. He inserted a magnet in the "bullet" of the stainless steel door pin. This allows for the actuation of the magnetic pick-up switch when mounted on the vertical intercostal.
Notice how the door pins do not extend pass the door edge. You will never scrape your fuselage with this system! I've tried many times to close the door with just the forward latch pin and have the aft pin not latch (as many RV10's do, including Vans demonstrator). Can't happen. The door guides have a "funnel" female shape so the door pins can guide in smoothly.
If the door only partially closes, the door handle cannot be closed because the door pins hit the door guides! The door guides "rack" the door where it should go when in the closed position. Very good safety feature along with the door light switch.

Zack: Remind me who "Dave" is, and where one can order his door
handle/latch system. Thanks, Jay Rowe

In addition to what is on the web site they are working on the door

Dave makes some very nice products but unfortunately his website is usually way out of date (probably not the best thing with this group of Internet savvy types). Best to contact him directly for current product offerings.
