TrippNT Core DX Extended Top Cart with Hinged Door — Wide-Format HDPE Clinical Cart with 29″ × 19″ Work Surface and Hinged Clear Acrylic Door
The TrippNT Core DX Extended Top Cart with Hinged Door (SKU 53542) is the hinged-door configuration of TrippNT’s Core DX Extended Top Cart — the same 29″ × 19″ wide flat work surface and full Core DX storage architecture as the Sliding Door version (53369), with a hinged clear acrylic bulk storage door rather than a laterally sliding one. At 28⅞″ W × 35⅝″ H × 20⅛″ D, the 53542 provides 3 full-extension locking drawers, 4 open side shelves, 2 dispensing side shelves, and a locking bulk storage compartment — all in the widened footprint that provides approximately 6 additional inches of on-cart work surface width compared to the standard Core DX (53517).
The hinged acrylic door on the 53542 swings outward to approximately 90 degrees, allowing simultaneous full access to both the bulk storage compartment and the drawer column from a single standing position. This dual-zone simultaneous access is the key advantage of the hinged door over the sliding door (53369) for positions where forward clearance allows the door to fully open. The hinged door requires approximately 14–16 inches of forward clearance; for positions where this clearance is constrained, specify the Sliding Door Extended Top (53369). Ships fully assembled. LTL freight required due to size.

Laboratory and Clinical Applications
The 53542 is specified wherever the Extended Top Core DX configuration is required (wider work surface for complex procedure staging) and forward clearance is available for the hinged door: complex clinical procedures requiring simultaneous instrument and supply access across both drawers and bulk storage during a single procedure sequence, OR and anesthesia supply carts where both drawer and bulk supply zones are accessed continuously, laboratory protocol carts where parallel sample and reagent staging across multiple storage zones occurs without sequential door operations, point-of-care testing stations with active-use equipment on the extended top while supply drawers and bulk storage are simultaneously accessed, and research protocol carts where the wider bench surface supports instrument layout alongside multi-zone supply access. Specify the Sliding Door Extended Top (53369) when forward door clearance is not available.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 53542 (Hinged Door Extended Top) and the 53369 (Sliding Door Extended Top)?
Both carts share the same 29″ × 19″ extended top work surface and identical Core DX storage architecture (3 drawers, 6 shelves, locking bulk storage). The difference is the bulk storage door: 53542 uses a hinged clear acrylic door that swings outward, allowing simultaneous visual and physical access to both the drawer column and bulk compartment. 53369 uses a lateral sliding door with zero forward clearance requirement. Choose 53542 when forward door swing clearance is available and simultaneous dual-zone access is a workflow advantage; choose 53369 when the cart is wall-parked or flanked and forward clearance is unavailable.
Does the 53542 use the same key as the standard Core DX Hinged Door (53517)?
Yes. Both the 53542 Extended Top Hinged Door and the 53517 standard Core DX Hinged Door use the 0003 key type (SKU 51647 for replacement keys). The key profile and lock mechanism are identical across all Core DX Hinged Door configurations.
