Normalbloke, what are "dorms"? When you say you had the dorms and hinges off, you mean before you had her on the inside with the ratchet?

A dorm is very similar to a door, only it's typed by a chap with fat fingers, an iPad, and too much haste!

Cheaper and easier to use: pick up a handful of the free wood paint stir sticks at your favorite DIY store, They are about the perfect thickness 1/4". If they cheap out with thinner ones, tape two together. I usually use some scraps of 1/4" aluminum plate tho since I always have some in my scrap bucket.
