Louvered Hollow Metal Doors
A louvered hollow metal door is a steel door with a built in vent. The vent, also referred to as door louver, provides ventilation and allows air to pass through the door more easily. Louvered hollow metal doors are very common in electrical rooms where ventilation is needed without sacrificing the door's security.
