Rolling Doors: Ideal for Commercial Security

Where security and visibility is required, rolling doors provide the solution. Rolling doors are suitable for commercial and residential purposes. They are usually used in commercial facilities like showrooms, banks, malls and other places where high security is enforced. For residences, rolling doors are appropriate in garages and storage areas.

Rolling doors come in various models. Some models may have the following features, though others may not:

• Emergency Egress Release – automatically opens the unlock grill by disengaging the motor.

• Center Locking Bottom Bar – for maximum security, this locking system secures the grill with ½” diameter steel throw rods.

• Adjustable Lock Strike – allows the installer to change the locking height to fit with different floor finishes.

• Electrical Interlock – prevents motorized operation when bottom bar is locked.

• Reversing Sensing Edge – stops and reverses the grill if something blocks the door while it is closing.

Rolling doors operate on either chain hoist, hand crank, motorized or manual systems. To minimize the infiltration of dust, wind and rodents, weather-stripped guides are a must.

Rolling doors offer innovative solution to different needs. These doors provide:

• Security against theft, vandalism, unauthorized entry, and other threats.

• Compact storage. Space is not a problem in rolling doors. The grill and closure can be installed with only the concrete slab and ceiling joist in place.

• Design flexibility. Rolling doors are tailor-fit to close bigger openings. Aesthetically, innovative designs add beauty and elegance to the structure.
