French term or phrase: portes en acier peint

Description of a console desk. The complete sentence is:
Accès total à l'arrière (panneaux amovibles en "Compact") et à l'avant du pupitre (portes en acier peint) par les caissons techniques"

So, obviously, portes = doors, acier = steel and peint = paint, but I'm not getting very many ghits, which makes me think that there is a specific term for this that I'm missing...

Thanks for all of your help.

Thanks! Perhaps it was just a case of the late-night doubts creeping in that made me wonder :-)
