One solution that has been presented here a long time ago, I liked for it´s
simplicity and added safety.
Somebody had simply put an overcentering hook on the door sill, which after
closing the door would be engaged on a small ridge on the door, or vice
versa.
Lightweight, easy to do and it provides a very good second locking of the
door preventing the door from opening in flight, should the standard locking
mechanism fail.

Emne: Door fit
One of my doors bows out proud of the fuselage along its lower edge,
evidently the door frame is too curved along the bottom.
Has anyone else encountered this and tried remodelling the frame
(perspex not in yet) with gentle heat ?
Or any other ideas ?

John-
I just installed my doors and latches last week but when I look at the door, it appears that it would be quite easy to add a flange extending down an inch or so right in the middle of the door frame, aft of the latch guard. At this point, the inside of the door frame is about 1/8 proud of the fuselage, just enough space for a piece of weather seal. This would be very simple to do.

that's what I was trying to describe, Mal McLure's solution. There's
enough spring in the doors to allow easy latching and when the shoot
bolts are in it is locked. I have seen doors flex and suck out my shirt
sleeve when fresh air vents were opened
