Where our Plant Room doors are installed
Plant room doors are essential for protecting areas that house vital mechanical, electrical, and communication systems. They’re commonly installed in both commercial and residential settings where security, controlled access, and continuous ventilation are critical.
Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) Plant Rooms
These rooms contain essential services such as distribution boards, water pumps, and HVAC controls. Our plant room doors provide the security and airflow needed to protect this critical infrastructure, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
Boiler and Pump Houses
Often exposed to heat and moisture, boiler and pump houses require robust doors with optional louvres for ventilation. Maxium’s steel and louvred doors help maintain temperature control while offering long-term durability.
Electrical Intake and Meter Cupboards
Safety and compliance are vital in areas containing incoming electrical mains and meters. Our doors can be fitted with secure locking systems and optional viewing panels to meet DNO requirements while keeping access restricted.
Generator and Battery Storage Rooms
These rooms demand both high security and constant ventilation to prevent overheating. We offer plant room doors with fully louvred panels, bird mesh, and fire-rated options for optimal performance and protection.
Server and Comms Rooms
Server and communication rooms benefit from doors that balance airflow with protection. Our secure steel doors with integrated louvres and thermal efficiency options help maintain stable operating conditions for sensitive equipment.
HVAC and Air Handling Units
Plant room doors for HVAC enclosures must accommodate airflow while resisting corrosion from moist, warm environments. Maxium’s aluminium or louvred steel options are ideal for maintaining equipment efficiency and access safety.
Gas Storage and Utility Enclosures
Storing gas bottles or utility meters requires secure, ventilated doors that comply with relevant safety standards. Our customised doors include anti-tamper features and calculated free airflow to support regulatory compliance.
Industrial and Utility Service Areas
For general-purpose plant rooms or back-of-house utility spaces, our doors provide a practical, secure solution. Built to withstand frequent use and demanding conditions, they’re fully customisable for size, finish, and function.

Plant room doors for commercial & retail premises.
A plant room door is required to achieve various levels of security and function to meet the requirements of the building. Choosing a quality-made, steel plant room door offers many advantages over other types of doors.
- Steel plant room doors are more robust than PVCu or timber doors.
- Steel doors come in a choice of colours, styles and designs.
- Many options for locking and closing systems are available.
- Different levels of ventilation to suit the location and equipment.
- Steel plant room doors are suitable for internal or external use.
The range of steel plant room doors from Maxium Doors offers commercial, residential and public buildings a choice of door solutions with the option of glazed, partially glazed, fully louvred or solid panelled doors.
Specification considerations for plant room doors.
We can design a steel plant room door for virtually any type of use. Plant room doors are not always just secure doors to machinery and equipment. Server and computer rooms may require fire protection and an approved method of fire-exit. Plant room doors may also be personnel doors calling for strong locks and door closing devices.
External plant rooms may need protection from insects, birds or rodents. These outside doors can be provided with insect and bird mesh, a deep rebate and a durable paint finish for weather protection.
Plant room doors are available in stock sizes or made to order to suit the building apertures. All door sizes feature the same durable construction, pleasing aesthetics and high security.
Where ventilation is required, the louvre panels fitted to steel plant room doors should be designed, so they do not compromise security. Louvre plant room doors are available with full width and height louvres or smaller louvre panels within the steel door skin. The size and choice of louvre will largely be determined by the various ventilation requirements.
For plant rooms in remote and exposed locations, consider a punched steel door with higher grade steel and hardware designed to resist prolonged external exposure.

ISO and CE accredited plant room doors
All our plant room door ranges are manufactured to approved quality standards, such as ISO and CE marked. Our doors are designed to meet the needs of any high use, increased traffic and multi-occupancy buildings. Whether you choose a solid, louvred or partially panelled design, all our plant room doors are vigorously tested and guaranteed for a minimum of 1 year.
Louvred plant room doors are essential for providing adequate ventilation to enclosed spaces where equipment generates heat. Ventilation allows for continuous airflow, which helps regulate the temperature of mechanical, electrical, and IT equipment, reducing the risk of overheating and ensuring proper functioning. Louvres are also vital in maintaining airflow while still offering security by preventing unauthorized access.
Yes, our plant room doors can be fully customised to suit the specific needs of your facility. Customisation options include various locking mechanisms for enhanced security, multiple threshold configurations, stays, door handing, and a wide range of colour finishes to match the aesthetic of the building. Additionally, louvred panels can be customised for different ventilation needs, from single-louvred panels to fully louvred doors.
Our UK manufactured, high-quality plant room doors are designed to comply with a range of safety and security regulations. These include fire safety standards, regulations for restricted access, and requirements for durability in harsh environments. Maxium Doors ensures that all our plant room doors meet or exceed relevant local and industry-specific safety regulations, providing peace of mind that your facility remains compliant.
Selecting the right plant room door depends on several factors including the level of security required, the need for ventilation, the specific environment of the plant room, and any compliance requirements. It’s important to consult with a specification expert who can guide you through the options, ensuring that the door meets your facility’s exact needs, whether it’s for new construction or a replacement.
The time it takes to manufacture and install plant room doors depends on the customisation and size of the order. Typically, the manufacturing process can take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks, depending on specifications like louvres, steel type, and security features. Once manufactured, installation can usually be completed within a day or two, but this may vary based on the complexity of the installation and site conditions. Our team will provide a detailed timeline based on your project’s requirements.
Security considerations for plant room doors.
The construction of a steel plant room door means it is stronger and more durable than the mechanical cleat construction of an aluminium residential door. An outward opening door is usually specified for plant rooms. Whether opening in or out, both types of doors offer excellent security.
Door hardware should comprise stainless steel hinges, heavy duty dog bolts and the right quantity to suit the door width and height. Door handles should be suitable for heavy duty use with quality fixings.
Plant room door security is enhanced with applied door rebates and anti-jemmy strips. Locking systems should feature multiple locking points, durable lever handles and high-security door cylinders where a key operation is needed.
