Overview
| The Door Steward is an STC and FAA-PMA approved modification for aircraft doors. The modern gas spring greatly improves and replaces easily broken, malfunctioning mechanical type door stops and restraints that become ineffectual with repeated use and age. Pilots enjoy the fact that the Door Steward gently opens and firmly holds the door open. The Door Steward consists of a modern inert gas spring with all the necessary brackets and hardware. Detailed installation instructions are included and make it easy to install and requires virtually no maintenance. Model 177C10. |

High quality parts, very complete kit that includes everything needed for installation. Excellent step by step instructions with great pictures. took about 2 hours to install 1st side, 1.5 for the 2nd side. Works great, holds door open better then i expected.

Installation was very straightforward and I’m glad to have these installed. The doors open very smoothly and can be adjusted slightly to keep them from going full open, giving some cushion in case the wind catches them.
Peace of mind: Our Cardinal is in a club & I try to teach people to pull up to hangar heading into the wind & to look for planes about ready to start their engine. Now I can relax & not worry about broken hinges any more.
Easy to install, works as advertised. Had both sides in in an afternoon. Not only handy and cool, but really less expensive than a door repair.
