Dual Pin Door Latch

Kitfox offers a dual pin door latch for their doors but there isn’t actually much information about them. Even the instructions are not in the manual. I have attached the pdf instructions here for reference.

What is the Dual Pin Door Latch? Its a system designed for an aerobatic Kitfox that keeps the doors from popping open in flight. The dual pins are more secure than the standard latch, but they are also more complicated and are much heavier.

I bought the option thinking that it would allow me to crack the doors open in flight to improve airflow through the cabin. As it turns out, the dual pin doors can’t be cracked open in flight. Kitfox was nice enough to let me return the latch in exchange for the standard latch.

Thank you Kitfox!

The latch is very secure but also complicated.
