Great product so far and a major improvement over the standard Beechcraft closing mechanism. The door closes much more smoothly and wont slam forward or shut. Installed in 2 hours.

Great addition to my PA-23! Works as described. Dont have to worry about the door slamming shut anymore while loading or unloading.

Took 3 hours to install. Works great. Awesome Spruce provided PDF instructions before purchase so I made sure I had the proper tools to complete the job.

Fantastic upgrade to my M35 Bonanza. No more instructing passengers how to unlock the door steward. Works great and exactly as advertised. Install took about two hours after gathering the right tools. Everything needed was in the install kit and super easy to complete the work.

Nice product, works well. You must close the door with your hand closer to the bottom latch when closing from outside. It will hold the door full open, even against prop wash. Great for summer.

Great product. From the complete kit with more than you need for your install to a perfect explained and pictured instructions. Often times you have to read the engineers mind to decipher the IKEA like instructions provided with a product. Not on this one! Our customers loved it.

Works great on my 1972 Piper Cherokee 180. Easy to install (though I messed up on some riveting and needed an education on how to remove a CherryMax rivet - those things are NOT falling out!). Not counting my installation mistake, it took about 2 hours to install working slowly. It holds up to prop wash taxi’ing on a hot day and is no problem to close.

Works great!! Simple instructions! Easy install!

I purchased the door steward after a taxing plane ripped the factory catch off the door. We just installed it, and im already in love. The door is so smooth, and taxing planes shouldnt be a problem any longer!

5 stars so far. Tired of dealing with the aging support rod on my Beechcraft and worried about gust of wind damage with original one on the plane.

This door steward is great for your Beechcraft in at least 2 ways. It will reduce The possibility of a broken lower door hinge since it will help to slow the door opening by a strong wind. And, it is much more convenient to use

What a great solution to a problematic door hold open rod. I have just installed a new unit on a Beech Debonair and it was very straight forward. I have also installed the units on a Cessna 175-no problem.

This is very likely the best Bonanza mod ever offered. The Bonanza cabin door/ rod combination has always been a weak engineering point. The Door Steward fixes that problem completely. Id give it 10 stars if that rating was available. Install is a simple 2 hour job for the experienced. Would make this mod a first fix to any Bonanza I purchase. Beech should make the Door Steward standard equipment.

I love this product!! I look around at STCs all the time for my Lance, and most of them I shy away from. This one works fantastic, and was economical to buy. Couldnt imagine going back to the old system now. Looking into adding it to the back door. I ordered the Door Steward because my rickety old factory door bracket finally gave up. Ive always wanted one, but never got around to it until the broken bracket thing forced my hand. This is a great product. I highly recommend it.

The product works perfectly well. It is firm and easy to install. The only downside is that it is visible, as opposed to Beech’s original mechanism that was concealed.
