project overview.
The Problem
A manufacturing customer of ours had an existing drive-in rolling steel door. This door provided them with the security they desired, but the speed of the door was having a large impact on the productivity of their team. With the size of this door, it took a long time for the door to open and shut. They did not want to leave the door in the open position due to security concerns. They were looking for an affordable solution that would provide the speed of opening and closing for regular operation and still use their rolling steel door for security purposes.
Existing Opening with the Rolling Steel Door
The Solution
Wilcox Door Service Inc. partnered with TNR Doors based out of Barrie Ontario to provide a high-speed rubber door solution (Model HDS) to solve the issues they were having with downtime on the speed of the door opening and closing. The HDS Rubber Door is suitable for applications up to 20 feet in width or height. It has opening speeds of up to 60 inches per second! It also has a a counterbalance spring assembly cycle rating of 100,000. All of these items helped solve the issues that the customer was having and increased their productivity overall.
