Hi, I have a cheap fix for all of those Thermaltake Armor users who do not like the swinging doors (Flaps) because they squeek and are very loose and will not stay open or closed.

1) Purchase some small rubber or nylon washers ( I used rubber 5/32x3/8x1/16 ). You only need two.


2) Locate the top bracket holding the left or right door in place. Then remove the two screws from the top bracket followed by removing the bracket. Now you should be able to slide the door out a little and lift up to remove the door.


3) Put one washer on the bottom mounting peg and push all the way down.


4) Replace the door and secure it with the bracket and screws. Now repeat with the other side.


There you have it. A very cheap (.20) and very easy fix to solve the problems of the squeeky and loose doors of the Thermaltake Armor. By doing this i am able to open the doors at any position an they stay there, also taking care of the squeek. Enjoy!

Real cheap and easy fix if you do ;) . Nice choice on the case, i hope you like it. It's big but it is a good one!

I was playing with one of those and thought up a simple little fix that'd have been better for this although a lot more complicated. You'd need to run a belt from one door to the other and set up a simple gear so that when you opened one door the other would open as well (I can't be the only one that got pissed when I tried to open both and only one opened).

But then again, I'm a perfectionist. :p

I almost didn't buy this one was going to go with the Tt Kandalf since i saw the Tt Armor and i didnt like the doors "seemed flimsey". but I think i will go and get this one instead if i can fix those doors that easily. i would give you +rep but i dont know how lol. sory

I am sure there are many people with the case. Not sure how many fixed the doors though, it may not bother people. Other's just simply take them off. I prefer having them on, i think it looks better.

Also, these 2 little rubber washers been holding up since day one. Something TT should of considered instead of leaving the doors rattle around.

Nice FAQ.

However I went ahead and just removed the doors I did not care for them anyways.

I havent done this yet, but I am planning on it. I have also heard of wrapping the posts with tape to stop the squeeking as well.

The doors are by no means flimsy. they are very thick and sturday!

thanks for the how to!

Your Welcome! I think the other user said "flimsy" meaning how loose or wiggly they are before fixing them. The doors themselves are nice and solid.
