    Side and Rear Swing Doors
     
    We custom build our side and rear swing doors to ensure a precise fit and positive closing. We use only DuraPlate® exterior skins, foam injected insulation in our state-of-the-art press, and .090" glassboard for the interior liner. Internal reinforcement at header and sill add even more stability, and premium hinges and grab handles add extra reinforcement for rough service applications. The standard curbside door is 36" x 67" on 72" high bodies and 36" x 73" on all other heights.
    Duraplate is an efficient, lightweight, and incredibly strong panel that provides exceptional resistance to damage, leaks, and corrosion. With skins composed of 80,000 psi yield steel, the DuraPlate panel resists scrapes, punctures, buckling, and permanent deformation. The polyethylene core and the bond between the skins and core form an added barrier that won't deteriorate and is impervious to water.
