If you have you may be able to replace the "switched" cable with something smaller that will suit a single socket, but to do this you will have to ensure that the correct breaker is fitted to the DB.

    Circuit breaker tripping

    Did the circuit work before the sockets were changed? Who changed the sockets? Have you unplugged everything from the sockets and tried to reset the breaker? I would hazard a guess, that if the breaker started tripping as soon as the sockets were changed then either a connection has broken...

    Freight Container as Temporary Garage (?)

    I'm sure you won't be the first to do it. Not sure why you want to change the original doors though, a roller door will not fit/seal anywhere near as well, or be as secure.
