Bulkhead doors, both weathertight and watertight, are generally larger than personnel doors, and most often require power operation. They are available in single or multiple panel configurations depending on the size of the opening and space constraints. The doors can be either horizontally or vertically hinged or sliding (to the side, up, or down). Options include thermal, sound, and fire insulation.
