While I was recently prepping my RT for winter storage, I stepped of the 1st mates seat and onto the (unsecured) storage door below. Duuuooohhh!!

I'm now looking for any source for the door/frame replacement. Any suggestions are welcome (besides "watch your step") ;-)

TIA

Bob

Any reasonably adept cabinet maker could make you a new frame. It appears to me it has been previously damaged prior to your “oops” moment. The teak will be expensive unless you can find an old piece of furniture to recycle.
 
If the door is one of the standard sizes that Fluid Motion uses, their vendor could source you a complete door and frame assembly.
I have used Whitecap Industries teak products before and was happy with the quality. A selection of Whitecap doors and frames can be found at:
 
you should be able to fix it.. i took my door off just for that reason as i didn't want people to step on it...its easy to step on the frig door bottom too if you aren't careful..
 
Remove door frame and rotate 180 (after glueing) and reattach door to other side of frame! You would only see your repair when the door is opened.
