Adding a side door to a prebuilt stand

[Rocks reef]

How would one go about adding a side door to a prebuilt stand without risking the integrity of the stand?

It would probably be best to attach some pictures of the outside and inside of the stand so those who are into carpentry can better determine structural integrity.

Build your own stand! Not sure how to answer your question without knowing your current stand and having an understanding of the engineering in its build and what engineering would be necessary to add strength.

That's why I say build your own....that's what I did. Used @RocketEngineer 's plan.....

And here it is skinned and prior to being painted with a finish coat.

I already built a stand per RocketEngineers plans, I need to skin it still. However, I found an awesome deal on a prebuilt stand that I really like the looks of.

I guess to have more access for filter socks, etc... I may be over thinking it. None of my other stands had a side door and I manages quite well without one.

I thought it was for controllers and wire management.
You could build an extra cabinet with out the back board and attache it to the OG stand

I never thought of that Eggie. Thank you! That is exactly what I'll do!

Here is one I did to a friend, but it was for controller purposes. White part is an extension to the cabinet
