How To Open Your Shipping Container

 Conex Container Door Instructions

  • Always open the right-hand door first and close the left-hand door first. This ensures proper alignment and secure sealing.
  • If the doors feel stuck, a firm tug will usually release the pressure — especially after long periods without use.
  • It’s normal if the handles don’t fully engage or sit flush when closing. As long as the doors are latched, your container is secure.
  • Once locked, the left door cannot be opened independently — the right door must be opened first.
  • For reliable security, you only need to place a lock on one of the right-hand handles.
