Type 2B applications or bolted doors for Type 2BC
applications. Doors with MPL utilize two viewing
windows while bolted doors have only one. All
doors are hinged on the left as standard (when fac-
ing the doors). Right-hand hinged doors are avail-
able as an option.
Rear doors on the SafeGear product are used to ac-
cess the high voltage cable compartments. These
doors are available in the following configurations:
• Split doors (top compartment/bottom compart-
ment) hinged and bolted
• Bolted, non-hinged split doors are also available as
an option
All front and rear doors are constructed using
12-gauge painted steel.

Padlock provisions are available on all front and
rear doors. These padlock provisions are used to
lock the door closed to prevent access inside the
compartment. On breaker compartment doors,
padlock provisions are also supplied on the rack-
ing release lever, to prevent racking of the
breaker.
Breaker and auxiliary unit doors include viewing
windows used for observing the position and sta-
tus of the components inside the compartment
with the door closed. These doors can also be
provided with the SmartRack mounting provi-
sions for remote racking applications.
Due to the small footprint design, installation of
protection and control devices on the breaker and
auxiliary unit doors are not possible.
