Ugh - I hate air operated plug type doors!

[belfert]

I continue to have one problem after another with the air operated plug type entrance door on my Dina.  There was a bad electrical connection causing it not to close at all and I fixed that.  Now it closes, but the air cylinder won't lift the door up to lock it closed.  This thing has NEVER worked 100%.  I'm fairly certain the current problem is not electrical as the circuit is really simple.

Ideally, I would like to find someone who could put hinges on this door so I can rip out the air mechanism all together.  I'll see if anyone has any suggestions for hinging the door at BK's rally.  I may end up having to taking the bus to the MCI service center in Chicago, but I would be sure they have someone who has done this before if I do that.
