Key Features

- Easy D-handle lock – Simple to open and close, with key-alike locks for convenience across multiple Weather Guard components

The Weather Guard 36" Shelf Door transforms a standard open shelf into a covered storage cabinet, helping create a more organized and professional van interior. Constructed from heavy-duty steel, the door is built to withstand the demands of daily commercial use. Its reinforced design prevents tools, fittings, and supplies from shifting or falling out, reducing clutter and improving safety while driving.
This accessory is engineered for seamless compatibility with Weather Guard shelving systems. When paired with the Model 9703-3-02 retainer lip (for 13.5" deep shelves), the door effectively converts the space below the shelf into an enclosed cabinet. For a fully enclosed unit, customers can add the Model 9603-3-01 back panel, creating a complete storage compartment that prevents items from slipping behind or off the shelf.
The D-handle lock is simple to use and features key-alike compatibility, so teams operating multiple van accessories can conveniently unlock their storage with the same key. The clean Brite White ARMOR TUF Powder Coat finish enhances corrosion protection while giving the interior a polished, professional look.
Designed for a variety of commercial vehicles and upfit configurations, this shelf door is a dependable upgrade for anyone who wants a secure, organized, and efficient vehicle storage solution.
