Enclosure Door Installation Accessories
Enclosure door installation accessories are used to modify, support, and secure enclosure doors while maintaining environmental protection and compliance with NEMA ratings. RSP Supply offers a complete selection of accessories designed for use with industrial enclosures, including bezels, blocking plates, door bar grid straps, support roller kits, and side door adapters. These components support proper door function, accessory mounting, and long-term enclosure reliability.
Flush bezels, door bars, and support components are commonly used when installing operating mechanisms, indicators, or door-mounted accessories. For example, flush bezels allow for low-profile, tool-operated access on solid, window, or disconnect doors, while door bar grid straps provide structural mounting support for accessories with defined load ratings. Door support roller kits help align and stabilize heavy doors, reducing wear and ensuring smooth operation over time.
Maintaining a NEMA rating during enclosure modification is critical. When making door cutouts or penetrations, all mounted devices must meet or exceed the enclosure’s NEMA rating. Watertight conduit hubs and bonded sealing washers are required to preserve environmental protection, and materials must be compatible with the enclosure construction. Proper selection of door accessories, replacement doors, and security hardware ensures both enclosure integrity and protection of internal equipment.

Door support roller kits help support and align heavy enclosure doors, reducing stress on hinges and improving long-term door operation.
Q: How can a NEMA rating be maintained when making enclosure cutouts?
To maintain a NEMA rating, devices installed must be rated for the same NEMA classification, watertight conduit hubs must be used, and bonded washers must seal all mounting hardware penetrations.
Q: Are side door adapters available for adding doors to enclosures?

Maintaining NEMA 4 Rating When Making Enclosure Penetrations
Cutouts are very common when modifying enclosures for push buttons, indication lights, conduit entries or mounting hardware. Cutting into an enclosure runs the risk of eliminating the protective nature of the NEMA rated attributes. Proper steps must be followed in order to preserve the NEMA rating of an enclosure.
Devices mounted to the enclosure must have the same NEMA rating as the enclosure. This means that if the devices are installed to the manufacturer's specifications, they will be able to maintain the NEMA rating of the enclosure.
Water tight conduit hubs must be used when running wire through a cutout in an enclosure. There are many different types of conduit hubs that are used to secure conduit to an enclosure. However, only certain conduit hubs are rated for a watertight seal. By using water tight hubs, the NEMA rating of the enclosure is maintained.
Bonded washers are necessary when mounting hardware to an enclosure. If standard mounting hardware is used, the NEMA rating of the enclosure will no longer be maintained. Bonded washers have rubber gaskets that make a watertight seal around the drilled hole. It is also important to make sure the material used for the bonded washer matches the material of the enclosure. Stainless steel enclosures require stainless steel bonded washers.
