American Response Vehicles <br />13 <br />into the outer door skin to allow for a flush window appearance and will not protrude with a lip on the <br />outer door skin of the modular body. <br /> <br />DOOR PANELS: The inside entry door panels will be made of .080 inch-thick aluminum plate and will be <br />finished per these specifications later in this document. The center panel will be removable for easy lock <br />service/lubrication. The inside of the compartment door panels will be made of .080 inch-thick polished <br />aluminum diamond plate. The edges of the door panel will be recessed into the door frame extrusion. <br />The panels will be fastened to the door frame with stainless steel, #10-32 UNF machine screws threaded <br />into aircraft quality blind fasteners. Each fastener will have an internal tooth lock washer to preclude <br />loosening. <br /> <br />DOOR JAMB: The door jamb will accommodate rigid fastening of compartment door hinges. The jamb will <br />include a hollow cell that will conceal wiring for the non-mechanical door switch. The door jamb frame <br />will be cut 45 degree on each corner from the door edge corner, each of the four corners will consist of a <br />keyway and spline that is designed to drive into each corner and maintain a perfect <br />90-degree angle prior to welding. Additionally, the jamb will be continuously MIG welded on the <br />inside and the outside corners. A seamless door jamb exterior is required to minimize corrosion - <br />extruded type door jambs do not meet this specification. The skin will completely conceal the <br />door-jamb from view. <br /> <br />HINGE: All doors will have stainless steel, continuous, piano hinge. The pin diameter will be .250 and <br />staked into place to prevent drifting out of the hinge leaf. The knuckle lengths will be one inch. <br /> <br />DOOR HINGE BOLTS: The hinge attachment bolts will be one quarter inch diameter by one inch long <br />stainless-steel type TT (Thread Rolling Screws) hex head bolts with SermaGard protective coatings. <br />Each bolt will be treated with the aluminum filled basecoat/resin-bonded fluoropolymer topcoat <br />system. The SermaGard 1105/1280 protective coated bolt system is designed to provide outstanding <br />salt and dissimilar metal corrosion protection versus bolts treated with pastes and liquids. The <br />SermaGard coating provides UV weathering resistance while protecting the aluminum tube structures <br />and stainless-steel hinges from dissimilar metal contacts. The SermaGard provides a sacrificial <br />corrosion protection. Body manufacturers that do not use bolts treated with SermaGard 1105/1280 <br />are providing substandard protection from corrosion and are not acceptable. Thread cutting screws to <br />attach exterior compartment doors or hinges to the body are not acceptable. <br /> <br />LATCHES: The latches will meet FMVSS 206. All latches will be two-stage, rotary- type. The latches will <br />be through bolted to the door frame extrusion. All entry doors will have two rotary latches per door. <br />To assure uniform latch timing and functional door reliability, only straight, one-quarter (1/4) inch <br />diameter rods will connect the latches to the handle. All double hung compartment doors will have <br />two rotary latches per door. <br /> <br />NADER PINS: All nader pins will be headed to prevent the door(s) from opening under impact. They will be <br />hex headed Grade-8 fully adjustable with a 5/16” thick knurled stainless-steel retainer plate to keep the
