I bought a used WSM and the door is not fitting well the metal is very soft and bends way to easy.

Cajun Bandit makes great stuff.

Thanks I was hoping to any other options. Cajun is a nice unit.

Aside from OEM I think Cajun Bandit is your only option.
The flexibility of the OEM door allows you to shape and reshape to get the best possible seal.

@Easy , the stock door will seal better if you install it upside-down. It still won't be as tight as the Cajun Bandit unit.

I understand that ,I bought this one used and the door has been reworked to many times. My last 18.5 was like a 2008 and the door was thicker material you could reshape it better. This door is l Iike triple strength aluminum foil very soft. Cheap is a hood word.

A little late here too, I must have missed this post while on vacation. I really like my Lavalock door - installed on my 22". They make an 18" version as well, no experience with it here, but probably very similar. Drilling and painting is involved, but worth it IMO. I didn't use the nuts and bolts they sent with it, got my own SS hardware.
Sweet big opening nice for adding coal.

I bought an 18" online, got me a Cajun bandit door for it. I really like the looks of that lava lock though.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211113/b87ba76f85242802b832ed059def8225.jpg)

Good decision to go with the Cajun Bandit door IMO.
