dynamat for doors
When I deaden my doors I put a few strips on the outer skin to prevent resonance then completely cover the part where the door panel attaches. i cover all gaps and holes. Don't forget to accommodate the handle bars and the like.
haha, sorry, that was worded pretty poorly. I haven't popped my door panels yet, but on my grand prix there are mechanical linkages between the handles that open the doors from the inside and the latch. It's a bar in many (if not all) cars. The power locks usually have the same bars hooked to the lock actuator and the lock mechanism on the door. You want these to move freely. A good way to do it is to wrap them in wire loom and then put your deadener over that. Be sure to test it before putting the doors back on and be sure there is no binding.
I too would recommend something other than dynamat. Use something like E-Dead or similar. Hell, if you can find Peel and Seal locally it works well too. It's thinner than car audio sound deadener and usually requires heat to stick really well, but it's usually cheap enough to double up. It's an asphalt, foil backed roofing material, almost exactly like sound deadeners. It also leaves no smell. I used it in a few installs and was very impressed.
