Purchasing a shipping container means ensuring you have access at every point you need. The durable frames on shipping containers make them excellent for custom door modification projects. While standard cargo doors offer functional access, they might not be the type of door that's best for your business or storage needs.

Before beginning the design process, think about what you need to access and how. For example, if you choose a container with doors on one end, ask yourself if you need to access both ends of the unit. Adding custom door modifications means you can create additional access points and make the storage unit that much more functional.

Modifications don't stop with ensuring there are doors on both ends of the container. You can also add personal walk-through doors and roll-up doors to create convenient access points. For example, if you're using this container in a tight space, roll-up doors provide easy access. Or, if you want to convert the container into an office or other portable facility, personal walk-through doors are an excellent option.
