Replacing the film door on a Canon AE-1 Program

Replacing a Canon AE-1 Program back door and checking the fit, seals and closing behavior.

A film door replacement is simple only if the donor part fits correctly. The hinge, latch and light seals all matter.On this Canon AE-1 Program, the door was replaced and the closing behavior checked before the camera was considered usable again.Any door work should end with a light seal inspection.
