They are closed by lockrods that run the height of the door. They have different corrugation than the rest of the container. Containers and two doors that swing open on one short end of the container. They have corner castings on them so containers can be locked into each other on ships. The corner posts by the doors are smaller than the ones in the nose (non-door end) of the container. Containers sit corner post to corner post, not the floor sitting on the roof of the container below it. The four corner posts of the container hold all the weight when stacking containers. They are also made of 14 gauge corten steel. Container roofs are also corrugated, but that corrugation tapers off so that rain and melting snow drain to the sides and then to the corners of the container. The walls connect into a top rail where the wall and roof meet and a bottom rail in the floor. The steel is about 14 gauge and the walls are corrugated. Container walls are made of corten steel. There are five basic parts to a container: the walls, the roof, the corner posts, the doors and the floor. Containers do not have many moving parts, but they do have more parts than you might think.
