Cutting interior door and panel 270 Coastal

Postby LMK » Tue Sep 01, 2020 1:26 pm

I have to cut into the head door to replace latch and cut into the refrigerator spot to replace it as well.
Can anyone give me some guidance on the best tools and methods to do this right?
Thank you,
Lee

The new refrigerator is slightly larger than the cut out for the original.
The new door latch is larger than the original.
So in both cases I will need to enlarge the cut out.
Some choices I have considered - roto zip tool - small trim hand saw - Fine blade scroll saw.
Neither original OEM pieces are available anymore.
