About 20 Foot Shipping Containers with Walk-In Doors
The 20-foot walk-in door container pairs the storage capacity of a full 20′ unit with a standard-height entry door, so people can walk in and out easily — useful for spaces that get accessed daily rather than just loaded once. The personnel door sits alongside the container’s original cargo doors, giving you two ways in: the wide cargo opening for bulky items, and the walk-in door for routine access.
Each unit is built from corrosion-resistant Corten steel with an 8-gauge steel frame, 14-gauge steel body panels, and a one-inch wood floor. They suit building supplies, tools and equipment, inventory overflow, jobsite storage, and a wide range of commercial and residential uses.

Key Features
- Full-height walk-in door: a hinged personnel door lets you step directly inside without operating the large cargo doors.
- Dual access: keeps the original double cargo doors on one end for loading bulky or oversized items.
- Secure locking system: a heavy-duty lockbox shrouds the padlock for added protection against tampering.
- Corten steel construction: corrosion-resistant weathering steel built for long-term structural strength.
- Heavy-gauge build: 8-gauge steel frame and 14-gauge steel walls engineered to take a load.
- Durable flooring: one-inch wood / marine-grade plywood floor rated for heavy and high-traffic use.
- Built-in ventilation:Â factory vents allow continuous airflow inside the unit.
- New or used options: choose the grade that fits your budget and intended lifespan.

FAQ's
What exactly is a walk-in door on a shipping container?
It’s a standard personnel-sized door — like a regular building door — built into the side or end of the container. Instead of swinging open the big cargo doors every time, you just open the walk-in door and step inside, which makes the unit far more practical for spaces you access regularly.
Does it still have the original cargo doors too?
Yes. The walk-in door is added in addition to the container’s standard double cargo doors. You keep the wide cargo opening for loading large or bulky items and gain the smaller walk-in door for everyday access.
How much can actually fit inside a 20 Foot walk-in door container?
You get roughly 150 square feet of floor space and about 1,165 cubic feet of usable volume. That’s generally enough for the contents of a two- to three-bedroom home, or a sizable amount of commercial inventory, tools, and equipment.
What are the interior dimensions?
The interior measures about 19 ft 8 in long, 7 ft 8.5 in wide, and 7 ft 10 in tall. The walk-in door slightly reduces wall space where it’s installed, but the overall storage footprint stays close to a standard 20ft unit.
Can I buy a used one, or are they only sold new?
Both are available. New (one-trip) units offer the cleanest appearance and longest service life, while used containers are a budget-friendly option that still holds plenty of structural strength. We’ll walk you through which grade makes sense for how you plan to use it.
How secure is the walk-in door?
The walk-in door uses a sturdy locking mechanism and the container ships with a heavy-duty lockbox that shields the padlock from bolt cutters and prying. For higher-security needs, additional lock upgrades can be added.
Can I customize the container after I get it?
Definitely. Common add-ons include interior shelving, electrical and lighting packages, ventilation upgrades, paint in a custom color, and additional doors or windows. Tell us how you’ll use the unit and we can tailor it to fit.
What is the floor made of?
The floor is a one-inch-thick wood / marine-grade plywood deck designed to handle heavy loads and steady foot traffic, so it holds up well in both storage and active-use setups.
Why choose a walk-in door over a roll-up door?
A walk-in door is ideal when people are the main thing moving in and out — it’s quick to open, lockable, and weather-tight at the seal. A roll-up door is better suited to frequently moving large items. Many customers pick the walk-in door when the container doubles as a workspace or is entered many times a day.
Is the 20 Foot size right for me, or should I size up or down?
The 20-foot Shipping Container unit is the most popular size — big enough for serious storage but compact enough to fit most lots and yards. If you have lighter needs, a 10-foot walk-in door container may be plenty; for larger operations, a 40-foot unit roughly doubles the space. We’re happy to help you match the size to your project.
