Shipping containers come standard with cargo doors on one or both (DD) ends.  These doors are fitted with vertical locking rods that are secure but somewhat unwieldy, proving inefficient for frequent access to the container.  In many cases, additional access doors are created by removing sections of the container wall, welding hinges and converting the wall piece to a swinging door.  We can cut, weld, bend, fold and add or remove steel components to create just about any access or safety solution for your project.  In terms of planning a container modification project, try to plan out these kinds of structural modifications as early on in the modification process as possible.
