American Outdoor Grills Single Access Door - 12" to 24" Sizes, 304 Stainless Steel, Reversible Slam Latch

Which sizes and cut-outs does this door come in?

The 12-18-SD takes a 12.5 by 18.5 inch cut-out, the 14-20-SD takes 14.5 by 20.5 inches, the 17-24-SD takes 17.5 by 24.5 inches, the 18-12-SD takes 18.5 by 12.5 inches, and the 24-17-SD takes 24.5 by 17.5 inches. Match the model code on your order to the opening you have.

How do I read the model numbers?

The two numbers are the nominal width and height of the door in inches - 14-20-SD is the 14 by 20 inch vertical door, 18-12-SD is the 18 by 12 inch horizontal one. The cut-out for each runs a half inch larger in both directions.

Are there both tall and wide versions?

Yes. The 12-18, 14-20 and 17-24 doors are vertical, and the 18-12 and 24-17 doors are horizontal, so you can fill either a narrow bay or a low run under a counter.

Does the door swing left or right?

Either - the door is reversible, so you set the swing at installation to suit the island.

How does the latch work?

It uses a durable black slam latch, which catches when you push the door closed rather than needing a separate turn or lock.

Is this a double wall door?

No, this one is single wall construction in 304 stainless steel. If you want the heavier feel of a double wall panel with tubular handles, look at the premium single access door instead.

Will it rust in a coastal or wet climate?

It is manufactured from 304 stainless steel, the grade used across most quality outdoor kitchen components and throughout AOG's outdoor kitchen line. Be clear about what that does and does not buy you: neither 304 nor 443 contains molybdenum, which is the element the published coastal guidance is built around, so neither is a coastal-rated grade. Near salt air the things that measurably change the outcome are surface finish and rinsing salt deposits off the surface.
