Best thing I’ve done for ease of entry & exit from the front of the Bonanza!

Great substitute to the old pin type opening system in legacy bonanzas. Highly recommended on the beechcraft forums, tried it out, took my A&P about 2 hours to install it due, but his work was very detailed and clean. Happy with this install and should have done it much sooner.

Great product so far and a major improvement over the standard Beechcraft closing mechanism. The door closes much more smoothly and wont slam forward or shut. Installed in 2 hours.

Took 3 hours to install. Works great. Awesome Spruce provided PDF instructions before purchase so I made sure I had the proper tools to complete the job.

Fantastic upgrade to my M35 Bonanza. No more instructing passengers how to unlock the door steward. Works great and exactly as advertised. Install took about two hours after gathering the right tools. Everything needed was in the install kit and super easy to complete the work.

Nice product, works well. You must close the door with your hand closer to the bottom latch when closing from outside. It will hold the door full open, even against prop wash. Great for summer.
