Identifier: MDP38U / MDP38 / M5ST. This guide compares a family or related models. Use the exact configuration on your label.

Models covered: MDP38U, MDP38, M5ST. They are separate configurations; compare the applicable facts and documents below.

The official selector groups these as traditional steel panel doors but separates their document lists. Select the full identifier first, then the actual door dimensions.

MDP38 has separate installation and supplemental links for 9 × 8 ft and 16 × 8 ft doors. Do not stop after the first PDF or borrow MDP38U’s shorter size list.

M5ST separates single-width 8/9 ft and 16 ft links. Shared PDF targets do not establish identical reinforcement, spring hardware or thermal construction.
