Yes, I have changed our door to a hinged one on our 3810MS. After one year, the bearings in the overhead trolley gave out, letting the door drop. The trolley is the only thing holding the door up. I debated replacing the trolley, but decided to hinge the door instead. It was fairly easy. The hardest part was removing the pivoting mechanism, which is hidden behind the molding on the latch side of the door. But, overall it wasn't that hard. I opted to hinge it on the toilet side of the frame, and to have it swing OUT into the hallway, as the other way it wouldn't clear the commode. Only drawback is that it doesn't quite clear the valance over the window in the hallway on the 3810, but it comes darn close, close enough that it doesn't matter to us. It was just a one day (part of it) job to do the change.
