Weld on man door

admin

What weld on doors have you used in the past and liked?  I found one on-line that is made for shipping containers, but was hoping to see more options.The one I found was a "Weld-N-Go Man Door" found here http://www.builtriteind.com/products.html  Not sure of the price.  What I need is a prehung weldable door to make things fast and easy.  My uprights and over head will be 3 1/2 sq 11g welded to the foundation and ready to accept the prehung door.  Thanks for your ideas.
Reply:What is the rough opening?
Reply:No rough opening yet.  Just a concrete slab with base plates in the concrete.I will make the rough opening around the door I decide to get.
Reply:Door linked looks very much like a commercial door buck designed for concrete or block installation from what little I can see. The difference may simply be they welded the joints on the buck rather than the typical screw in joints in most frames that are designed to knock down for easy transport. It's been about 4-5 years since I need to do a true commercial block door, so I'm a bit fuzzy on the exact details tonight..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.

Reply:I just got a quote on the "Weld-N-Go Man Door" and it is 450 plus S&H.  So I will probably go with that.It requires a 40" rough in and that works just prefect for my base plates.  The door is 30-68.
Reply:That size should be3'0" not 30 x 6'8" other wise you have very thick door jams.
Reply:You are correct the door is 30-68.
Reply:It's the way you are writing it that is causing the confusion. In text the wording would be "three oh by six eight" or 3 foot zero inches by six foot eight inches. ie 3'-0"- x 6'-8"Many read 30-68 as 30" x 68" which is incorrect..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.
