Sheet Metal Door

door.hinged.metal

The standard base door. Affordable and reasonably tough, the sheet metal door is the workhorse of most Rust bases.

Crafting one takes 150× Metal Fragments, straight from your inventory — no workbench needed. A recycler breaks one down into Metal Fragments. It has 250 HP: breaking one takes 1 C4 or 2 rockets, and the cheapest way is 63× Explosive 5.56 Ammo (1,575 sulfur) — the Sheet Metal Door raid page compares every explosive. 375 skins exist for it, topped by Metal Tree Door.
