Alfresco 42 Inch Stainless Steel Double Sided Access Door - AXE-42 With Marine Armour
Double-lined 304 stainless doors that swing almost 180°, flush-mounted to the island, sized to sit under an Alfresco 42-inch grill. Sealed with Marine Armour for coastal living.
An access door is the part of the island you touch most, and the part that rusts first on cheap kitchens. The Alfresco 42-inch is built like the grills: 304 stainless, double-lined so the door stays flat and the hinges stay true, with a magnetic latch and a swing of almost 180° so you can reach everything behind it. Two doors open the full width for a propane tank, a trash can or the plumbing and gas valves. It flush-mounts in stone, stucco, brick, wood or metal, lines up under the Alfresco 42-inch grill, and takes the optional XEDS-2 door bin for sauces and tools and the AXE-42E enclosure for a sealed cabinet behind it. A hand-applied Marine Armour ceramic coating seals the stainless against salt air, UV and harsh weather.
Who it is for
Is the AXE-42 Your Access Door?
Island doors range from thin stamped panels to this. Here is who the Alfresco access door is made for.
Built for you
The AXE-42 fits you if…
- ✓You live near salt water, a pool or harsh weather and want factory Marine Armour protection on the stainless.
- ✓You are building an island around an Alfresco 42-inch grill and want the doors beneath it to match its width and finish.
- ✓You store real things behind it: a propane tank, a trash can, the gas and water shut-offs, or the electrical for the lights.
- ✓You cook in weather: all-welded 304 stainless and double-lined doors shrug off humidity, rain and coastal salt air that rust painted or single-skin cabinets.
- ✓You want the island to read as one kitchen: flush-mount stainless fronts that line up with Alfresco grills, doors, drawers and pantries.
- ✓You want it organized: the optional XEDS-2 door bin hangs sauces and tools on the back of the door, and the AXE-42E enclosure turns the cavity into a dust-free cabinet.
Think twice if…
It may not be the right fit if…
- →You want drawers for utensils, not a cavity: the 17-inch double drawer or triple drawer.
- →You want a door and drawers in one cutout: the 17-inch door and drawer combo or the 32-inch door and triple drawer combo.
- →You want the contents sealed from bugs, dust and rain: the sealed dry storage pantry.
- →You need a different width: 17-inch, 23-inch, 30-inch, 36-inch.
- →You live inland, away from salt air and pool chemicals: the same door without the coating, AXE-42.

Features
Three Things Done Right, Armoured for the Coast
Alfresco builds its storage the way it builds its grills: 304 stainless, welded, with hardware chosen to last outdoors.

01 · Marine Armour
Marine Armour Ceramic Coating for Coastal Living
Marine Armour is a clear, liquid ceramic coating hand-applied over the stainless in a four-step process. It cures into a non-absorbent, glass-like finish that fills the tiny pores of the steel, protecting it from salt air corrosion, oxidation, UV rays, staining and harsh weather. A once-a-year maintenance application keeps the protection going.

02 · Construction
Double-Lined 304 Stainless Door
The door is two skins of 304 stainless with the hinge hardware captured between them, so the panel stays flat, the hinges do not loosen and nothing oil-cans in the sun. Heli-arc welded seams, the same construction as an Alfresco grill.

03 · Access
Almost 180° Swing, Magnetic Latch
Each door swings nearly flat against the island, so a propane tank or a trash can comes straight out without threading it past the door. A magnetic latch holds it shut without a catch to break.

04 · Upgrades
XEDS-2 Door Bin and AXE-42E Enclosure
The XEDS-2 accessory bin mounts to the back of the door for sauces, brushes and tongs. The AXE-42E enclosure is a stainless box that mounts behind the door, turning an open masonry cavity into a sealed cabinet that keeps dust and insects off what you store.

Estimated Delivery Time
Post shipment, anticipate your items within a timeframe of 3-5 business days. We utilize UPS and FedEx for smaller items. It's crucial to note that more substantial items and certain orders are dispatched via freight. Freight shipping is somewhat more intricate compared to regular parcel deliveries, hence understanding the process in advance ensures a smooth delivery experience.
Freight Shipment Specifics
The majority of freight items are shipped on pallets. Some delivery companies will reach out to fix a delivery slot, whereas others aim to drop off your order at the most accessible spot nearest to your home, preferably close to a garage. The shipping confirmation email will detail the specific delivery procedures to anticipate.
For Scheduled Delivery
Companies that arrange delivery slots necessitate your presence for the delivery and your signature for confirmation. Deliveries are made using a semi-truck with lift gate service, placing the shipment by the curb. Should you grant permission for the delivery to be left unsupervised, BBQ Kitchen Pros cannot assume responsibility for any ensuing damages. The process might seem daunting, but for a comprehensive understanding, we recommend you peruse our thorough freight delivery guide to prevent unforeseen challenges.
For Non-Scheduled Deliveries
Delivery services that don't operate on appointments don't mandate your presence or a scheduled delivery slot. There's also no signature required upon receipt. Without the hassle of scheduling or waiting around, let the delivery come to you. If you're home during the drop-off, the driver can be asked to place your items in the garage. If you're away, they'll position it close to the garage or main entry.
