Quite possibly the most useful video on youtube! I have faught my doors for two years. I just assumed they were bent but when I checked them with a straight edge I could never find anything out of alignment, they work exactly like yours in the video. I cannot wait to get back home and fix those damn things once and for all!! Thanks for the video!!

[@gatornation3889]

Hell yeah brother, thank you from an old man in Florida. My doors are so hard for me to open, definitely trying this first thing in the morning

[@dianebrown6317]

First thing is to make damn sure it's level both wsys

[@luguy8347]

Thanks

[@michaelorhan1842]

[@tomthatcher3444]

Thanks so much, didn't know what I was going to do..

[@mikecopsey5875]

[@BrandonBodkin-dw9ce]

Finally the video I needed!!

[@Zfrostyone]

Thanks for the advice on the door hinges. I will try that.

[@budgetboxonline6821]

Hope it works out for ya!

[@theantichrist6524]

Good tip .

[@kanitchaisirisuroj848]

Hey you have performed the repair Never use heat the door hinges with fire Use hammer and some grease Thanks

[@SnowyOwlPrepper]

Thanks.

[@PainterD54]

I just sprayed mine down with PB Blaster oil and let it sit over night, then followed that with spray lithium grease to keep them lubed. I want to install a garage door opener on them, so I need them to work freely.

[@maycon51]

Sweet!! I actually have removed the doors from 2 reefers I am building my house into... And have no idea what to do with those four beasts now!! 😂

[@williamdunlop8191]

i added silicone spray and did not work. this was a great idea, will try soon thanks

[@timsmith4186]

Great video! Thanks for sharing! I wish I would have known this before I painted my container office! I would assume this would be best to do before you paint because when using a torch you going leave burn marks? Also I was trying to find you on IG, but could not?

[@tiwillpp7]

I used to fix them for a place I was working in New Jersey

[@richscott2952]

Amazing

[@OneWildTurkey]

Before doing loads of work, make sure your container is level and square... just sayin

[@mosbysmen]

any way to make them close all the way from the inside for camping .

[@RedlandFarm]

Would a regular propane torch work or need to use MAP gas?

[@budgetboxonline6821]

A propane cutting torch would probably work. Basically as long as you can get it hot enough to reform the hinge insert. We use oxygen/acetylene.

[@fastway007]

Yep, because everybody has a torch in the garage

[@patrickkelly9721]

We recently got a container. The doors are very stiff, I'm thinking because they haven't been used in over a decade. Cut the padlock off and the doors do swing, with difficulty. I'm torn whether or not to change this. We routinely have 30-40 mph wind and I'd hate to get smacked in the face with a heavy, free-swinging door. Good video

[@richscott2952]

Can you show us how to remove the lettering

[@tonyb7748]

A world of OSHA violations.

[@ALSomthin]

Just a heads up for anyone buying a used container beware of a place called Container One.

[@RobertHinkle-ju6iz]

Why?

[@ALSomthin]

@@RobertHinkle-ju6iz They delivered a real piece of crap to me it was heavily damaged and they wouldn't make it right.

[@RearviewMirror-ij2pr]

Stiff cok for a wet box.
