Shipping containers are engineered for maritime transport with heavy-duty cargo doors positioned at one end, designed to withstand the rigors of ocean shipping and port handling.

While these original cargo doors provide exceptional security and weather protection, adding strategically placed entry doors transforms your container into a more functional workspace, storage facility, or specialized structure.

NorthCo Storage Solutions’s comprehensive selection of entry door modifications ensures optimal access, security, and convenience for any application.

Entry Doors

Shipping containers come standard with heavy-duty cargo doors positioned at one end, engineered specifically for maritime transport and designed to withstand the extreme conditions of ocean shipping. While these original cargo doors are very functional and provide exceptional security and complete weather sealing, they present practical challenges for everyday access in stationary applications. Having entry doors increases efficiency in daily operations and workflow productivity.

Adding strategically positioned entry doors transforms your container from a simple storage box into a highly functional workspace, retail environment, or organized storage facility. Entry doors eliminate the need to wrestle with heavy cargo doors every time you need to retrieve tools, access inventory, or enter your container workspace. This simple modification dramatically improves operational efficiency while maintaining the container’s inherent security and weather protection characteristics.

Standard Roll Up Door

Our standard roll up doors deliver reliable access solutions with versatile sizing options ranging from 4 feet wide to 10 feet wide, with custom larger sizes available upon request, featuring chain hoist systems for enhanced operational convenience. These doors typically measure 7 ft in height, though exact dimensions vary depending on whether installation occurs in standard containers or high cube containers.

Constructed from 26-gauge galvanized steel, these doors resist corrosion and maintain structural integrity in harsh weather conditions. The galvanized coating provides long-term protection against rust and deterioration, ensuring years of reliable operation with minimal maintenance requirements. Each door features a sliding locking clasp mechanism that provides secure closure while remaining easy to operate for authorized personnel.

Heavy Duty Roll Up Door

Heavy-duty roll-up doors represent our premium access solution, available in widths from 4 ft to 8 ft with the same 7 ft height standard adjusted for container specifications. These superior doors are manufactured from anodized metal aluminum construction, which provides enhanced durability, corrosion resistance, and reduced weight compared to steel alternatives. These containers are also watertight, ensuring contents remain safe and secure amidst any climate conditions.

The anodized finish delivers exceptional weather protection while maintaining an attractive appearance that resists fading, chalking, and staining over extended exposure periods. This advanced surface treatment proves especially valuable in coastal environments where salt air accelerates corrosion of untreated metals.

Their watertight construction ensures complete weather sealing, protecting container contents from moisture infiltration during severe weather events. Precision manufacturing and quality sealing components create reliable barriers against wind-driven rain, snow, and humidity that could damage sensitive stored materials or equipment.

3Ft Personnel Door (Industrial)

The 3 ft industrial steel personnel door is our most popular entry solution, combining robust security with practical functionality for both industrial and residential applications. Solid panel steel construction provides superior strength and security compared to hollow-core alternatives, making this door ideal for high-value storage or sensitive equipment protection.

This door exceeds residential security standards through heavy-gauge steel construction that resists forced entry attempts while maintaining smooth daily operation. The solid construction eliminates weak points that compromise security in lesser doors, providing peace of mind for valuable asset protection.

Comprehensive security hardware includes both deadbolt and handle lock mechanisms, creating redundant security layers that deter unauthorized access. The deadbolt provides primary security, while the handle lock offers convenient secondary security for routine access control.

The integrated overhead drip ledge prevents water infiltration by directing rainwater away from the door seal area. This critical weatherproofing feature protects container interiors from moisture damage while preventing ice formation that could interfere with door operation during winter conditions.

3Ft Personnel Door (Residential)

6-Panel, 3ft Wood Personnel Door. This is a wood door with a metal skin. It’s a lighter duty door primarily utilized in residential storage applications. It comes equipped with a deadbolt, handle lock and overhead drip ledge. It is a lesser expensive alternative to our heavier duty solid panel steel door.

3ft Personnel Door with Security Swing Arm

Businesses in need of additional security features benefit from our security swing arm addition, compatible with any personnel door for maximum protection against forced entry attempts. This innovative security system utilizes heavy-duty 1-inch by 2-inch steel tubing construction that provides superior strength and tamper resistance.

The integrated lock box design conceals padlock mechanisms from view and tool access, eliminating the vulnerability of exposed locking hardware.

Installation doesn’t compromise the door’s existing security features, as deadbolt and handle lock mechanisms remain fully functional. This layered security approach creates multiple barriers that significantly increase break-in difficulty while maintaining convenient access for authorized users.

The swing arm design accommodates various padlock types and sizes, allowing selection based on specific security requirements and key management preferences. Heavy-duty construction ensures long-term reliability even under harsh weather conditions or attempted tampering.
