"Barn doors" are a common type of rear trailer door that open outward on hinges and use external locking bars. Also known as container-style or double-swing doors, they provide a full-width opening at the rear of the trailer for easy access during loading and unloading.
They are typically secured with vertical locking bars mounted on the outside of each door, providing a strong and tamper-resistant closure. This style of door is commonly used on box vans, cargo trailers, and shipping containers.
Key Benefits of Barn Doors:
- Wide rear access: The full swing design allows maximum use of the trailer’s rear aperture.
- Secure closure: External locking bars ensure stability and reduce the risk of accidental opening.
- Simple maintenance: Fewer moving parts compared to roller shutter doors.
Barn doors are a practical and widely used solution for trailers that require clear rear access and secure cargo containment.
