Why Choose the nVent HOFFMAN DNS1806R5 Side Door?
The nVent HOFFMAN DNS1806R5 is a robust mild steel side door for floor-standing enclosures, designed to replace the standard SPM side panel where convenient access to equipment inside the enclosure is required. It is particularly useful for control and automation cabinets where rear access is restricted or where enclosures are installed back to back.
Designed for nominal 1800 × 600 mm enclosures, the DNS1806R5 has actual dimensions of 1782 mm high × 593 mm wide × 51 mm deep. The door is manufactured from 2 mm mild steel and finished with a structured RAL 7035 light-grey powder coating, providing a durable surface suited to industrial enclosure installations.
The side door is equipped with a standard 3 mm double-bit lock, allowing alternative compatible locking options to be used where required. nVent HOFFMAN specifies the DNS side-door assembly as providing IP55, TYPE 12 and IK10 protection, and the package includes the side door together with its mounting frame.

Reliable Side Access for Floor-Standing Enclosures
The nVent HOFFMAN DNS1806R5 converts a compatible enclosure side into an accessible door, allowing technicians to reach equipment that may otherwise be difficult to service from the front or rear. This is especially useful when components are mounted deep within the cabinet or when enclosure positioning prevents conventional rear access.
The DNS side-door system is also suited to back-to-back enclosure arrangements, where direct access through the rear is impractical. Its steel construction, secure double-bit locking system and supplied mounting frame provide a practical solution for improving service access while maintaining the enclosure's professional industrial construction.
Typical Applications
- Industrial floor-standing electrical enclosures.
- Control and automation cabinets.
- Back-to-back enclosure installations.
- Power distribution and switchgear assemblies.
- Manufacturing and production equipment.
- Applications requiring improved side access for maintenance.
- Replacement of compatible nVent HOFFMAN SPM side panels.
