Thanks to everyone for all of this information. I put my doors back
together about a week ago and realized from this discussion that I left out
the donuts. I found my old ones but I don't have enough for all of the
handles and the ones I do have are rough. I don't see them in the SS
catalog so I may attempt to make some from some masonite or something.
Can somebody verify what the total thickness of one of the full donuts is?
One of mine that still looks good measures .33", but it might have swollen
up over the years.
Thanks,
Joe Brown
