PANEL CONSTRUCTION

1 1 ¾” (44.5 mm) thick door

• Tubular aluminum extrusion (6063 T5), 1⁄16” (1.6 mm) thick
• Thicker extrusion 1⁄8” (3.2 mm) at fastening points for more strength
• 6 ¼” (159 mm) perimeter extrusion (top, bottom and double hinge end)
• Rigid vinyl (PVC) pane molding

2 Weatherstripping between sections efficiently prevents air infiltration.

3 U-shaped tubular bottom weatherstripping made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) ensures the weathertightness of the threshold R emains flexible and watertight during cold weather, to -62°F (-52°C).

4 Perimeter weatherstripping (jambs and lintel) Aluminum extrusion base with double-edge weatherstripping in arctic vinyl.

5 Hinges equally spaced on the door for a better look.

6 Integral reinforcement strut for doors 14’ (4267 mm) wide and over.

IMPORTANT: The full vision door should not be used for insulation properties.

Hardware options
Precision end bearing plate 3	For 650 lb (250 kg) doors and over, to provide stronger support for the opening system of the door.
Double hinges	Recommended for doors 14’ and wider, for a more stable mounting system.
11-gauge hinges	For very wide and very heavy doors, 1 000 lb (453 kg) and over
12-gauge continuous angle	Provides stronger attachment of the tracks on the wall.
1 1⁄4” (30 mm) solid shart	Provides more strength to the spring system.
Bridge strut	Ensures better resistance to wind load.
Safety bottom brackets	For a safer door system. If the lifting cables break, these brackets stop the fall of the door.
Tension bridge reinforcement	For very wide doors (18’ 3” wide and over), prevent warping of the steel door sections, meaning the curving of sections which can be caused by indoor and outdoor temperature differences.
Precision rollers	Machined steel: recommended for heavy doors and dusty environments. Black nylon: made of rigid plastic, they reduce the noise of the door in motion. Rubber: ensure smooth rolling and are recommended to reduce the noise of the door in motion (ideal for condo or apartment). NB-SS: with a stainless stem, ideal for car washes.
C-shaped or bumper springs	For a softer stop, they are recommended for all manually-operated doors with a high-lift track or a full vertical track.
Pusher springs	Highly recommended for large size doors with a standard lift with a Jackshaft opener installed beside the door. They ensure the good tautness of the lifting cables when the door is operating.
Chain hoist	For easier closing and opening of a door operated manually.
"Z" or "L“ style track guards	Protect the tracks in high-traffic areas (ex.: forklifts).
High-cycle springs	Recommended for intense uses of more then 50 operation cycles per day. Vary from 25,000 to 200,000 cycles.
