How to Open Doors of Container Houses

The way to open the doors of a container house mainly depends on the type of door. Common door-opening methods include opening single doors, double doors, and specially made doors, with specific operations related to the type of door lock.

I. Classification by Door Type

1. Single Door
   The standard size is 800 millimeters wide and 2000 millimeters high, suitable for daily entry and exit. The door opens on one side and usually uses fixed or lifting turn locks. A fixed turn lock fixes the lock head at a 90-degree or 70-degree position by rotating the handle; a lifting turn lock requires pushing the handle vertically to lift the lock head and then rotating it to a specified angle for locking.

2. Double Door
   The standard size is 1600 millimeters wide and 2000 millimeters high, commonly found in office or storage-type container houses. Doors are set at both ends and can be opened simultaneously from both sides, facilitating the handling of large items. The type of door lock is similar to that of a single door, but it is necessary to ensure that the locks on both ends are operated synchronously to ensure safety.

3. Specially Made Door
   Doors are customized to be taller or wider according to requirements, for example, for the entry and exit of special equipment or barrier-free design. The door-opening method may involve electric hydraulic systems or remote control devices, and the operation process needs to be determined in combination with the specific design.

II. Classification by Door Lock Type

1. Fixed Turn Lock
   The lock head is directly welded to the vehicle body and can only rotate without vertical movement. To open the door, rotate the handle to the unlocking position, usually 90 degrees or 70 degrees.

2. Lifting Turn Lock
   The lock head is connected to the vehicle body through a bracket and can be extended and retracted vertically. To open the door, first push the handle to lift the lock head, insert it into the inner cavity of the container's bottom corner fitting, and then rotate it to a specified angle for locking. Some models are equipped with a tightening device, which requires additional tightening to press against the bottom surface of the corner fitting.

3. Insertion Turn Lock
   The lock shaft is inserted into the fixed part of the container body like a pin and is usually used in combination with other turn locks. To open the door, first pull out the lock shaft and then operate other locks.

Precautions:

• Before opening the door, ensure that the container is fixed to avoid safety hazards caused by shaking.
• After operating a lifting turn lock, check whether the lock head is fully retracted to prevent scratching the door frame.
• If the specially made door is equipped with an electronic lock, check the power supply and signal status in advance.
