What is the size of the little nuts and bolts which hold the door closed, and what size wrench do they take?
It's not in the Archives that I could find in reading 200 posts worth last night.

But you just admitted to copiening a patented machine.
Go to the local hardware store and fingure it out. Look at the nuts and bolts.
Beside the fact they are not little. 1/4 and under way on down in size to the numbered bolts are small.
My nuts are 9/16 ;coarse tread ,and would take a 9/16 wrench.
WHAT?!?!?! WHO CARES UNLESS YOU'RE STEALING PATENT RIGHTS?!?! Man, talk about jumping up and saying, 'IM GUILTY HERE'..........let me guess, I bet you were the kid that stood up in school and said, "excuse me Ms. Lansford, arent we supposed to have a test today?" Use your head.....if youre going to infringe on patents, dont advertise it.......ESPECIALLY not here!

if they're making their own auto tanner it's not stealing patent rights unless they start production copying someone elses patented exact machine and selling them.
John, calm the heck down. What happened is a cleaning company misplaced the baggie of nuts and bolts which came with my auto-tanner - I stored my auto-tanner open, not closed - and I tried unsuccessfully all weekend to replace and/or find them. I need them tomorrow and even Express Mail from Steve Rotrammel won't help me today. You are a total dork and I'm not copying any machines whatsoever. Got it? Now go crawl back in your hole, and thanks to the cool people for the real answer.
The easy thing to do would have been to just take the cover to the hardware store and try different nuts until you found one that fit. Much better than getting abused here.
Thats wierd...My Auto Tanner hatch has the bolts welded on the door?
It is not illegal to build a pressure tanner. I can build anything I want to that is patented and not be breaking any laws. You can look at patented products in the US patent office and make any one of them. It is only illegal if you make them and sell them.
I replaced all the washers and nuts that came with my tanner with stainless steel ones!
A whole lot less hassle with corrosion.
The nuts 3/8" SAE coarse thread, any hardware store should have them.
