Metal Double Door — Detailed Guide
A double door in metal
The Metal Double Door is the third double door available in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The game calls it a lockable door made of metal-plated concrete that lets you into structures. Like other doors it locks an entrance and keeps the elements outside, and it is wider than the normal Door, which lets larger things through.
Placing and locking it
It can only go into a Double Doorframe. Once placed it can be locked or unlocked, keeping strangers out while you and your tribemates still get through. The ARK Wiki also notes that doors do not change a house's insulation, whether they are open, shut or missing.
Crafting a stack
The engram unlocks at level 52 for 12 engram points, and level 52 is required to craft it. The wiki names the 
Smithy and the 
Exo-Mek as crafting places. One door takes 5 seconds, gives 2.88 XP and needs:
- 20
Metal Ingot (or 
Scrap Metal Ingot) - 8
Cementing Paste (or 
Achatina Paste)
Each door weighs 4 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 400. Our records count 32 crate types that can contain it, for example the Genesis Blue, Cyan and Red crates of Genesis Part 2.
What can damage it
As a metal structure it only takes damage from a limited list, according to the wiki: Titans, bosses, the 
DodoRex, the 
Titanosaur, 
Arthropluera, Corrupted and Enraged creatures, the 
Tek Rifle, Tek Saddles and explosives.
