Aluminum Roll-Up Doors can be manufactured to fit openings of up to 70' in width, and to meet a diversity of commercial and residential application requirements. Doors can be obtained in an anodized or powder coated aluminum, and can be motor, chain hoist, crank or manually operated. Possible applications include, but are not limited to, aircraft hangers, crane-way openings, horizontal mountings, door/grille combinations, and small opening protection. Weatherstripped guides are standard to minimize rain infiltration, dust, wind and rodents. Additional weatherstripping for hood and sill is available.

Bracket Plates

- Bracket Plates: To support the curtain and the counterbalance, the bracket plates shall be provided with munimum thickness of 1/4".
- Drive End Bracket Plate: The bracket plate on the drive-end is to be fitted with a sealed ball bearing.

Spring Counterbalance

- Counterbalance: Housed in a steel pipe, maximum deflection of 0.03" per foot of door width is achieved by having the appropriate diameter and wall thickness.
- Springs: Helical torsion with a 25% overload factor for ease of operation and are greased packed mounted on a cold rolled steel inner shaft.
