Personnel Doors

Why get a personnel door? 

A personnel door is a simple piece of equipment that it a very common across a lot of our client’s conversions. With personnel doors being simple but are straight to the point allowing for the client’s workers to gain access through the personnel door rather than using the large double doors on the front of the shipping container. We do a lot of conversions into offices and the inclusion of personnel doors makes the container more appealing as an office than people thinking it’s a shipping container.

It’s not just offices that we fabricate personnel doors onto we have done that for a wide range of different jobs for clients so we can do it for you no matter what you need a personnel door for.

Fitting a personnel door 

To fit a personnel door to one of our shipping containers we are in constant contact with our clients as we are working to their specification so that the job is to how they require it. We use a standard fit personnel door; an aperture is cut out from the shipping container that will fit the personnel door and frame in place. The door is put into place and is spot welded in places to hold it in place until it is fully welded around the cavity to make sure there is no spaces left that will let moisture through. Once the frame has been welded in place to the shipping container there is just the finishing touches that need to be done.

If there are any rough edges, they will be grinded down, the door will have its floor plate added and trim to make the personnel door wind and water tight. The lock will be added to the door and the frame of the personnel door so the shipping container can be locked and unlocked from both sides. To finish off the personnel door the frame that has been welded to the container panel will have silicon added to hide away the weld.

Now you have a Personnel door fitted, we have done a lot of personnel doors in our conversions if you are looking for a conversion that needs a personnel door enquiry with us today.
