Shipping Container Door Install

In this video I go over the personnel door installation on the shipping container. Since this was a modification of the existing container we couldn’t find an off the shelf solution. So the project required the fabrication and welding of the door frame then the installation into the container. The DIY project turned out great and will be a great addition to the shop.

I’m about to do something very similar! Super helpful to see someone else did it this method and had success

Thanks for the comment. I'm trying to document the build to show lessons learned. If you have any questions let me know. I'd do it different if i did it again.

Nice work. The scrap panel you cut out might make a good awning...just an idea. Cheers

[@whobuddywantsit]

That’s a good idea!

Can’t anyone make a how to video without music?

@@Leroy100 Good one.. Plus they spend more time on their face than the install.
The title should be "My face when installing a container door"

Parker Birch Roger that! 👍

That looks hurricane proof! Nice work

[@whobuddywantsit]

Thanks!

I like the idea of welding the entire seam over relying on the caulk.

[@whobuddywantsit]

Yeah its solid!

I caught the fact that you are in Florida. I’d like to be able to contact you off line and come to see the installation b/c mine is turning into an expensive debacle. I’m in JAX

[@MODEZMW]

Any mistakes to avoid?

[@tim-hill]

What about the threshold?

[@JustMe-mg6vw]

You wouldn’t be able to supply detailed prints for the door frame would you? I’m to that point where I’ll add the doors but can’t find a good print.

[@whobuddywantsit]

Unfortunately not. It was a custom build.

Not sure why everyone doesn't use 1/8 x 4" steel for this .

Здравствуйте. Подскажите пожалуйста, почему дверь устанавливают по наружному ребру?
