Shipping Container Doors

Product Description

We can supply and fit a range of shipping container doors to aid access. We’ve tried to show a good selection of available options in the pictures, but below we also list more of the available options.

Prices will vary significantly on the type and spec of door, plus in the case or additional sets of cargo doors prices can vary a lot dependent on weather we have spare doors available in our yard when you need them (if not we can either fabricate our flat panel doors or buy in new container doors).

Below we have listed the range of common door options:

Additional 8′ Doors

Flat Panel Doors

These single or double shipping container doors are fabricated in our yard to order – so they are always available. They are made from min 1.8mm sheet steel (thicker than the steel used in the sides of the container). They also come with a box section frame for rigidity. Generally, they can be made up to 10ft wide, but 8ft is most popular.

They will typically some with 1 locking bar and we will include a lock box (padlock cover) for security. These doors do not come with a rubber seal around the door frame but with a rain guard in place. Flat panel doors are still perfectly wind & watertight for everyday storage uses.

These doors are typically much easier to use than original shipping container doors. They are much lighter and hence easier to operate whilst still providing a good level of security. As they are made from new sheet steel they also offer a clean finish.

Cargo Doors

We can add in additional sets of double cargo doors. We are commonly asked to move the double shipping container doors from the end of a used container into the side (blanking off the end section in the process also) to give a side entrance into the container.

In some cases we have added additional sets of cargo doors along a long side. This is popular option to give quick and easy access to the goods held inside in a 40ft long container, while being more cost-effective than a side opening container.

Original cargo doors are extremely sturdy. With 4 locking bars and a very heavy duty construction you won’t get a sturdier option without serious expense.

These can sometimes be split to offer a single 4ft wide entry door with 1 or 2 locking bars also.

Additional container door prices will vary. When we have them spare from a different project they will be offered as a very reasonable price, however when not available we have to buy in new shipping container door sets which are expensive in comparison.

Roller Shutter Doors

Perfect for storage customers who want easy and secure access and can be easily converted into “pop up” shops, cafes and even shipping container bars!

Roller shutter doors provide an unobstructed access point as the shutter and mechanism are stored above the doorway and out of the way. This makes it very easy to move goods in and out of the container. We can offer both manual and electric versions. Please note, larger shutters can only be electric due to the weight.

Available in any height to suit your storage container and in widths up to 10 metres these are a great alternative to standard cargo doors, flat panel doors and personnel doors.

Personnel Access Doors

Personnel doors can also be added into a shipping container to give quick and easy access. Ideal for partitioning storage units into smaller individual blocks, or for office and other conversion projects. As standard we fit steel security doors with multi-point locking systems.

These doors have bolts that come out of the door on all sides. These fix into the frame making it extremely hard to break into.

Great for everyday use. If the door is in frequent use then a cargo door can be pain to use all day. This style of personnel door is ideal for more frequent use when you’re not loading large or heavy items.

Fire Exit Doors

Much like the standard personnel style doors we can also buy in and fit push bar / fire exit style doors to a shipping container. These are very popular in industrial conversions where you may have electrical switch gear, boilers, or machinery running inside the container whilst people may also be inside.

Also popular with office and shop conversions in containers giving a 2nd exit point from the container in the event of fire.

Self Fit Doors

We also offer a range of shipping container personnel doors which can be delivered to your site. If you are / have access to an experience welder, you can fit these doors on your own container on site.
