The Tuff Shed Difference - Our Door

At TUFF SHED, we understand that the door is one of the most critical components of any storage building. It’s the only moving part, and it takes the most wear and tear over the years. That’s why we’ve invested in creating a patented door design that’s built to last and withstand anything life—or Mother Nature—throws its way.

TUFF SHED Difference #127: A One-of-a-Kind Door

Our door construction starts with a steel frame, which provides unmatched strength and durability. This steel core is then layered between LP® Smartside® Siding and OSB wood sheathing, ensuring both sturdiness and style.

To attach the door to the building, we use specially designed, heavy-duty hinges rated to support up to 500 pounds each. These hinges are built to maintain the door’s alignment and ensure smooth operation for years to come. Completing the design is our patented ergonomic locking handle, made for a comfortable grip and built to last. Thanks to this robust construction, our doors resist bending, warping, and failure—making them a standout feature of any TUFF SHED building.

TUFF SHED® DIFFERENCE #128: STRENGTH BY DESIGN – HINGE

A door is only as strong as its hinges, which is why we’ve put as much thought into these components as we have the rest of the door. Our heavy-duty hinges are exclusive to TUFF SHED and have been engineered with precision. Crafted from cold-drawn steel bar, they include Derlin® bushings for smooth operation and are coated with ASTM corrosion-rated zinc plating to prevent rust and wear over time.

Not only are these hinges strong enough to keep your door hanging straight, but they also operate flawlessly for years without bending or breaking. In fact, we’re so confident in their quality that we proudly put the TUFF SHED name on them.

When you choose TUFF SHED, you’re not just getting a shed—you’re investing in a product designed with the utmost care and built to last, right down to the smallest details. That’s the TUFF SHED difference.

TUFF SHED® DIFFERENCE #129: STRENGTH BY DESIGN – HANDLE

And what would a great door be without a handle to match? Our teams worked for years to design the ideal heavy-duty, locking handle with ergonomic grip. Just like our hinges, this handle is a patented, one-of-a-kind Tuff Shed original, complete with our name on it. It will hold up to years of wear and tear, and ensures that your shed locks securely from the outside, without any chance of locking you inside. Go ahead and make friends with this handle; it will be opening doors for you for a long time.

TUFF SHED® DIFFERENCE #130: OPTIONS & ACCESSORIES

Just like the front door to your home, the door on your shed is the perfect place to show off your style.
