Summerset 18 by 22 inch Vertical Access Door: a single door for under a side burner
The Summerset 18 by 22 inch Vertical Access Door is a stainless steel access door for the front of an outdoor kitchen island. It covers the hollow space inside the island, where the gas line, the shutoff valve, and spare supplies live, so you can reach them without taking anything apart. It measures 18 by 22 inches, taller than it is wide. It mounts flush, sitting flat against a smooth island face such as tile, stucco, or panels. It is built from 304 stainless steel with double walls, the grade that holds up best outdoors, and Summerset backs it with a lifetime warranty.
There are no hinges showing, a magnet holds it shut, and you can hang it to open from the left or the right. Builders often choose this size because it passes a propane tank, fits almost any island, and works well under a side burner. Storing taller gear? See the Summerset 20 by 27 inch Vertical Access Door. The Summerset 18 by 22 inch Vertical Access Door ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What makes 18×22 the most popular vertical door size?
It is the do-everything utility size: big enough to pass a propane tank or reach a shutoff comfortably, small enough to fit almost any island face. The DV-18 is the door builders default to when a cavity needs access but the layout is not settled yet.
Can it go under a side burner?
That is a classic pairing – a side burner drops into the countertop and the DV-18 sits in the wall below, covering its gas connection and storing the saucepans and oils the burner uses. One 18×22-inch cutout finishes the whole station.
How do drop-in doors change an island build?
They turn fabrication into assembly. Frame openings to the DV-18 spec sheet, finish the island, slide doors in, done – no metalworker, no custom casework, no waiting on a shop. Most owner-built islands are exactly this: block or steel-stud framing plus standard drop-in components.
Which side should the hinge go on?
Whichever keeps the open door out of the traffic lane – reversible mounting on the DV-18 lets you decide at install, not at checkout. Rule of thumb: hinge toward the nearest corner or wall, so the door folds back against the island instead of into your walkway.
What keeps it from swinging open on its own?
A magnetic latch system – the DV-18 closes with a firm magnetic pull and stays put until you tug the 304 stainless bar handle. No knobs to turn with greasy hands, no mechanical catch to jam with patio grit, nothing for kids to accidentally leave unlatched.
Is there a vented version of this door?
Yes – Summerset makes the same 18×22 vertical format with ventilation louvers in left and right-opening versions. If a propane tank lives inside the cavity, choose one of the vented siblings; gas needs an escape path from an enclosed island. The solid DV-18 is for cavities without fuel inside.
Does the lifetime warranty apply here?
It does – the DV-18 ships with Summerset’s Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty, coverage designed to protect the product for life. Between that and double-walled 304 stainless construction, this is a buy-once component: the warranty will likely outlive the island.

What Our Customers Say
D
A sauna turns your garden into a spa oasis. We debated it for a while, but after renovating our house, we pulled the trigger and bought a sauna from Norse Steam and Maya. She was always super responsive and helpful throughout the process. Don't kid yourself, getting a really nice sauna is not that easy. Sizing and heating need to be figured out, as does the building, but we have always had a helpful partner on our side. She never upsold us on anything we didn't need, and we got some nice freebies when the sauna was delivered. And now we can really enjoy every moment in our garden.
KF
I'm really happy with my sauna purchase. Maya gave above and beyond excellent customer service. She wasn't pushy and gave impressive followup after the delivery to make sure everything was just right.
DE
I enjoy my FD2 Sauna with Red Light, Infrared and radiant heat. Use it 5x a week and my post workout soreness is minimal and sleep great. Maya at Norse Steam was excellent to work with.
B
We purchased the 3-person sauna for our outdoor garden. We chose the cube sauna for the aesthetic and could not be happier.
I assembled by myself except for the 2 large panels (requires a few people). Instructions were good - took me two partial Saturdays to complete and a few hours to unpack and organize in advance of assembly. Had my elec. add a NEMA enclosure on the back for the controller and power for lights and a 2nd panel for the wireless control.
Customer service was excellent

Awesome Sauna and Awesome Company and Experience purchasing it from Maya!
After much research I chose the Finnmark FD-2 and it has met and exceeded all my expectations! Easy to assemble and it functions great - just as advertised. I highly recommend it for home use!
EA
Recently purchased the Finnmark one person after much research. Extremely happy with it and the ordering process. Maya was very responsive and helpful during the process and keeping us updated while we waited for shipment. There were several places I could have ordered this, but i chose Norse Steam based on the communication and customer service which was fantastic. The shipment was also excellent. The setup was pretty seamless for two people - but the best part is the sauna experience 10/10

Maya is amazing - super helpful and responsive. Looked at many stores, these guys have the best prices and service. Highly recommend
GR
Norse Steam, and specifically Maya, were extremely helpful as I was making the decision for our Sauna. I was able to get all of the necessary details to make a decision as construction was happening in my backyard to make space for it.
We absolutely love the CL7G. It is extremely comfortable for 6 people (can fit more less comfortably). The Thermory Spruce and Aspen in the interior smells great. The lighting is lovely. We paired the CL7G with the Harvia Spirit 10.5kw.

Had great experience shopping at Norse Steam for the new heater. They had very good deal, with rocks. Customer service was good, and responded very fast with my questions. Received the heater, and it looks good, and the quality seem to be great. Will install soon, and am very excited to start experiencing sauna the way it ment to be

Smoking Hot Tub!
I got the Norse Steam SaunaLife wood-fired hot tub, the S4N model, and its been seriously great. It heats up quicker than I expected, usually around an hour and a half, and once its hot, it stays that way for a good long while. The wood-fired system is simple to use, and honestly kind of fun.
The tub itself feels solid and well put together. The thermo-spruce exterior looks beautiful in person, and the fiberglass interior is smooth, deep, and easy to clean. Its the kind of setup that just works without a bunch of fuss, which I really appreciate.
Also, the team at Norse Steam was genuinely great to work with. Super helpful, quick to respond, and made the process really easy from start to finish. It felt like they actually cared that I was happy with it. The tub has totally become a go-to way to unwind, and I wouldnt change a thing.

Great Sauna & Purchase Experience
Great experience purchasing Finnmark FD-2 from Norse Steam. Good communication and easy to assemble. Temperature increases quickly (30 minutes or less to 140) and maintains well. So far this has been a great purchase.
M
Great sauna and great customer service
We purchased the Finnmark SD-1 sauna. Maya was extremely helpful with the purchase. We had an issue with the sauna not reaching the maximum temperature, and Maya connected us with the appropriate technician that explained how to correct the issue. The sauna now heats to the maximum temperature (170 degrees) in less than an hour, and it is a great unit. We are very happy with it, and we would definitely purchase from NorseSteam if we needed any other items.

Sauna Review
I recently purchased a sauna from Norse Steam, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, their customer service was exceptional, and Maya deserves special recognition for her outstanding support!
Maya was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, answering all my questions about the sauna features, installation process, and maintenance. She went above and beyond to ensure I selected the perfect model for my home. Even after the purchase, Maya followed up to make sure everything was running smoothly and that I was satisfied with my sauna.
The sauna itself is top-notch beautifully designed, durable, and easy to use. It's clear that Norse Steam takes pride in the quality of their products and their commitment to customer satisfaction.
If you're considering a sauna, I wholeheartedly recommend Norse Steam. With their excellent customer service and high-quality products, you're in great hands. Thank you, Maya, and the entire Norse Steam team for a fantastic experience!
