Hey SHIELDS People, Let’s chat about our heavy equipment replacement doors, specifically about our 1/4″ doors and all of our gauges! To make it easy below is a bullet point list of what we recommended our polycarbonate doors are used for, but not limited to the following:
3/8″ Polycarbonate Door
- Grass Mowing
- General Contracting
- Material Handling
- NOT for Demolition
- NOT for Brush Cutting
- NOT for Wood Processors
1/2″ Polycarbonate Doors
- Demolition
- Forestry Application
- Ground Clearing
- Brush Cutters
- Tree Shears
1/4″ Polycarbonate Doors
People are sometimes not sure if they should get 1/4″ polycarbonate to replace their glass. If that is you we have one question for you….did your glass keep you safe? If so, then our 1/4″ polycarbonate is perfect for you. Our 1/4″ is great for replacing glass for general work. If you feel like you might buy a mulcher head or another attachment then we encourage you to upgrade to the 1/2″ for safety reasons. Another point I would like to share is that polycarbonate is FLEXIBLE. Polycarbonate’s strength comes from its ability to flex. Some applications ¼” will flex and have movement due to how it is installed in your cab. If this will bother you, we recommend looking at our 3/8” or ½” thicknesses.
If you have questions about what thickness you need, give us a call! 1-800-554-7527

Will the existing door hardware work if we bought a 1/2 polycarbonate door, replacing the factory glass?
Hi John,
Great question. Yes, all of your original hardware will work for our 1/2″ door! We mill the sides down so there is no extra work for you. If you want to read more about it you can check out this article.

Do the polycarbonate scratch easy?
Hi Kevin,
Great question. Polycarbonate is a soft material and does scratch easily. That is why we post-coat our products. We shape them and then apply our silicone hard coating to both sides. Our
SUPERCOAT™ is scratch-resistant to steel wool. You can read more details about our SUPERCOAT™ here.
Thanks,
Your SHIELDS Team!
