Summerset 39 inch Double Access Door: access beneath a grill and side burner
The Summerset 39 inch Double 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 39 by 22 inches. 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. Double means two doors that meet in the middle, so each one swings out only half as far, and you can open one side for a quick grab. It covers the wider bay beneath a grill and side burner without two mismatched cutouts. Need more width? See the Summerset 42 inch Double Access Door. The Summerset 39 inch Double Access Door ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What layout calls for a 39-inch double door?
Grill-plus-side-burner runs. When a burner or accessory sits beside the grill head, the service zone stretches past 36 inches, and the DD-39 covers that widened span with one 39 by 22-inch opening instead of two mismatched cutouts. One door, both appliances served underneath.
Is it covered by Summerset’s warranty?
Yes – the DD-39 carries the Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty, Summerset’s lifetime protection, and its 304 stainless steel construction is what makes such coverage realistic outdoors. Between grade and guarantee, this is hardware specified once per island, not replaced once per decade.
Drop-in door or custom fabrication for an odd-width island?
Try the standard size first: at 39 inches, the DD-39 covers the awkward gap between common 36 and 42-inch cutouts, which is exactly the range where owners assume they need custom work. Fabricated one-offs cost more, take weeks, and rarely match production double-wall quality.
How much storage does 39 by 22 inches open up?
Enough for a propane tank, a pull-out bin, and seasonal gear at once. The DD-39 opening leaves shoulder room to reach deep into the cavity instead of fishing blind – width you appreciate every time both panels are folded back and the whole bay is in daylight.
Where do I see the whole door range?
The full lineup of outdoor kitchen doors runs from 16-inch utility hatches to 45-inch doubles, with the DD-39 sitting in the upper-middle of the range. Comparing spec sheets side by side is the quickest way to lock your cutout plan before framing begins.
Will wind pop the doors open mid-party?
The DD-39 magnetic latch system holds both panels shut with a constant pull that gusts do not defeat, and the double-walled panels have too much mass to flutter. Doors only open when someone pulls the 304 stainless handles – which is the entire idea.
Can I swap this in without redoing countertops?
Usually – doors mount to the island face, not the counter, so replacing a failing off-brand door with the DD-39 means matching the rough opening and screwing the new frame in. If your existing cutout is near 39 by 22 inches, the upgrade is an afternoon, not a renovation.
