Yes, I had to take a door off its hinges once. When my cab originally went to its room, it came through a door right next to a window. The next summer when I tried to move it to the backyard for a party, a swamp cooler was now residing in the window. It prevented the door from opening all the way, making it about 3/4" too small.

Modular cabinets.. I have another post going here regarding that. I read in thebook that the GSXRmovistar upright cabinet had a detachable "top part" for his UA II look-a-like. That sounds really intersting to me... Anyone have any info on that? his site www.mamenotover.com is down and I cant find a mirror anywhere..

lock nuts are lock nuts only the first time you use em.
once you remove them they are just plain old nuts .
not knocking them.... In the navy we had to toss them once we removed em of a jet engine.

That's not entirely true. They're still a lot tighter than regular nuts, but they do lose a lot of their locking ability once removed. Having said that, I'm sure that replacing them on a jet engine is a very good idea. :)

I imagine that the reliability needs to be a bit higher on jet engines.

There are other types of lock nuts as well. But for a low stress application, a simple nylock is pretty good, as is the not too strong locktite. Crazy glue works in a pinch as well.

I have not had to take my cab apart yet since i'm still in the process of building it so i have not had experience with them loosing their grip.  Would I need to replace them each time i remove them or can I get a few uses out of them before I need to replace them?  I sure don't want to have my controller fall off because of the nuts coming off.  I don't think there will be as much problem with the top half connected to the bottom half having the nuts come off because there is far less constant vibration as there would be at the controler where you are constantly moving the joystick to loosen the nut.
