I can vouch for that. I re-built the top of my door, due to "rot" I guess.
The aluminum had rusted all the way through on several spots.
So I tore the thing down, and re-built it. It does have poplar wood around it, but only an inch wide. The rest of it is foam glued to aluminum skin. The problem that I saw, is that the latch was not screwed to the wood, (on mine at least) So, when I re-built, I used about 2 inches of wood around the perimeter.
