Would someone provide me the part number or size/type of the McMaster door seal that is used on the 10?

There are a few options based on the edge size you form and which side you want the bite piece to be on (bulb side or inside)

That said I used 1120a311. Other options are 1120a211, 1120a313 or 1120a213

Default Seal Size?
Looks like McMaster might have changed their part numbers. Looking on the website, none of the numbers listed in the last few posts from last year are available.
1120A412 has a 3/8" bulb, 1120A422 has a 7/16" bulb.
Other posts have mentioned 211 or 311, etc.
All I see is 112, 212, 312, 412, etc.

I'm getting out the cutter tomorrow and going to grind off the lip down to about a 1/2 of meat remaining.
There seems to be a scribe line but it would only leave me about a 1/4 " to put the seal on.
Thoughts?
Thanks.

Default No epoxy and flox for me
Right or wrong I bought the McMaster door seal, sanded the door frame edge as best as I could and then installed the door seal.

No knife edges. No places where it went on badly. I have 600 hours on the plane, the seals haven?t moved and the doors seal well.

I like 1120A411. Just checked and it's a valid part number.

same here. Had no issues maintaining a 1/4 edge, though I did need to build a few areas up. Haven't flown yet, but the seal seems to stongly hold on. The seal channel has a metal innard, so it can be sized smaller by squeezing it.
