Shipping Container Doors, Seals and Locking Gear
Inspect cargo doors, hinges, gaskets, locking rods and alignment on a shipping container offered for sale.
Alignment depends on support
A twisted or unlevel frame can make otherwise serviceable doors bind.
Seals need continuous contact
Cuts, missing sections and deformed frames can compromise weather resistance.
Inspect before lubricating away clues
Watch hinge movement, rod guides, cams and keepers while another person operates the doors safely. Note excessive force, sagging or incomplete engagement.
Recheck after placement
Once the unit is supported on site, operate the doors again. If alignment changed, have the support and level assessed before forcing hardware.
Buyer checklist
- Open and close each door separately
- Inspect hinges, rods, cams and keepers
- Check the full gasket perimeter
- Confirm a chosen lock will fit
- Test operation again after placement
