What are pass thru doors usually made of?  Is fiberglass strong enough? 

I have a featherlite AL to which I would like to add a pass thru.  Thanks!

Our pass through door is made of white painted aluminum, as it is in an aluminum trailer.  It was installed at the factory.

I installed one this past spring. Bought it after market and love it! It was under $400 delivered to my office. It is white alumn. on the horse side and white fiberglass on the inside of the dressing room. I'll try and find the original post w/pictures if your interested. I think it's under Walk thru door DIY?

Found it. Go to page 18, it's a post under DIY Door Pics install. Someone else was nice enough to post them for me! Good luck!

Thanks for the pictures!  It looks a lot like the door I am looking at - is your's from the featherlite dealer? 

I am concerned that the one I am looking at isn't one that should be installed in a horse trailer but only in an RV.  I think the door I am looking at is all fiberglass and I am wondering if it is strong enough.

Mine came from Universal Trailers. They actually sell Exiss, but this is an after market generic door (and not the most expensive one) and I installed it into a Sundowner. I would stick with the metal on the horse side. I have been very pleased with the quality. I can give you the name and toll free number if you like.

My hubby installed a walk-thru door on ours. It is aluminum skin on both sides, but the inside is styrofoam. We don't generally haul a horse in the first slot, so I wasn't worried about the strength of it. Anyway- we got ours for ~$70 from a RV surplus store. It was easy to install, and just happens to match the existing wall in the trailer. Might be worth looking around for one that way to save some money...

barntoys4mom - I would really appreciate the phone numbers.

I would like to be able to put a horse in the stall on occasion.  Has anyone used fiberglass doors w/success?  Or is it a big no-no? 

Thanks for the feedback everyone.
