Frequently Asked Questions
Why pick a single door instead of a double door?
Single doors fit narrow island runs (14–24 in wide) and cost less, yet still give full code-required access to shut-off valves and electrical junctions.
Do I order a left-hinge or right-hinge model?
Face the island: if you want the handle on your left hand, buy a right-hinge door (and vice-versa). Choose the swing that won’t block foot traffic.
Which stainless grade is best—304 or 316?
304 resists rust in most climates. Live near saltwater? Upgrade to 316 (marine grade) for extra corrosion protection.
What are common cutout dimensions for single doors?
Typical rough openings are 14–18 in W × 20–24 in H. Always download the brand’s spec sheet and add ⅛ in clearance on all sides.
Can a single access door provide ventilation for a propane tank?
Yes—select a louvered or vented model. Solid-panel doors seal better but don’t count as code ventilation.
Will the door stay flush with uneven stone or tile?
Premium frames include adjustable mounting tabs. Shim behind the flange or backer board until the face sits flush.
Are soft-close hinges available on single doors?
Many pro-level doors feature soft-close to prevent slamming and protect island edges; look for it in the specs.
Can I install a single access door in a wood cabinet island?
Yes—line the cutout with cement board or metal studs so the flange contacts non-combustible material.
Do single doors come with seals or gaskets?
Top brands use silicone perimeter gaskets to block dust and insects. Add peel-and-stick weather strip if daylight is visible after install.
What handle style options do I have?
Standard tubular pulls ship with the door; swap in bar handles or LED-lit pulls (fits M6 screws) for a custom look.
Can I lock my single access door?
Many doors include a cylinder lock; others accept aftermarket cam-lock kits sold on our Accessories page.
How do I keep stainless looking new?
Rinse, wipe with mild soapy water, dry, then polish with chloride-free stainless cleaner. Never use steel wool or bleach.
Will stainless steel discolor from grill heat?
A faint golden hue can appear near 600 °F heat zones—easily removed with stainless polish and won’t affect durability.
Do access doors come pre-assembled?
Yes—just slide into the cutout, level, and secure with stainless screws (included). A two-person lift prevents scratching finishes.
Can I retrofit a new single door into an older opening?
Measure your current opening; if it’s larger, add a stainless trim kit or filler strips (Best of Backyard stocks multiple sizes).
Are single access doors weather-proof?
Fully welded 304/316 stainless resists rain, snow, and UV. Keep hinges lubricated yearly for smooth action.
How fast will my single door ship?
In-stock doors leave our Riverside, CA warehouse in 1–2 business days; most U.S. addresses receive delivery within a week.
Do you offer bundle savings?
Yes—add drawers or trash centers from the same brand and save up to 10 % on the package at checkout.
