Roll-Up Doors

If you would like the DWG files, please send a request to info@buydoorsdirect.com.

GENERAL A. Type: Roll-up Doors: are to be the Model # 501 series as manufactured by U S Door & Building Components.

B. Operation: to be manual push-up.

C. Mounting: to be interior face mounted on a prepared steel, masonry, or wood opening.

D. Opening preparation: miscellaneous or structural steel, access panels, and finish or field painting, are in the scope of the work of other sections or trades.

PRODUCT Curtain Assembly A. Curtain: made from hot-dipped galvanized steel roll formed into a corrugated sheet, interlocked and seamed together to form a continuous curtain for full height of the door.

B. Poly Vinyl Chloride Strip: of 1" (25mm) width, stapled uniformly to the exterior side of the curtain, along both edges, to act as a wear strip, to prevent steel to steel contact with the curtain and guide, and to act as a spacer allowing the curtain to roll-up in a cylindrical fashion minimizing any nesting of the curtain while the door is in the open position or during operation. Provides required space between curtain surfaces while in operation to minimize surface paint scratches and curtain friction. Allows for overall door longevity and quiet operation.

C. Finish Coat: prior to roll-forming, curtain is pretreated, then painted with a prime coat and a top coat of medium gloss high temperature siliconized polyester paint. Standard colors available are: Gloss White, Satin White, Chocolate Brown, Natural Tan, Lightstone Tan, Public Orange, Urgent Orange, Hunter Green, Dark Teal, Marine Green, Duro Bronze, Royal Blue, Polar Blue, Cobalt Blue, Lighthouse Red, Garnet Red, Calypso Green, Bright Yellow, and Cardinal Red.

D. Bottom Bar: of extruded aluminum, reinforced with a 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" (38mm x 38mm x 2.3mm) #13 US Gauge (235mm) structural or galvanized roll-formed angle, and equipped with a vinyl bulb-type bottom weather strip to ensure consistent closure and fit along irregular floors. Total assembly shall be lock-seamed to the bottom of the door curtain.

E. Lift Handles: two open-faced rounded handles, manufactured from hot-dipped galvanized steel, to be installed on the exterior of the bottom bar assembly, one located in the middle of the door and one located immediately under the lock assembly. Both handles will function as lift handles when opening the door and step plates when closing or locking the door. A 1/4" (6.3mm) nylon pull rope will be attached at the center point of the interior angle on the bottom bar assembly for ease of operation.

Spring Counterbalance Assembly A. Counterbalance: is factory-calibrated to match door size.

B. Springs: to be helical torsion type, attached to the curtain drum and to the door bracket dispensing force equally to all parts of the door assembly during operation.

C. Drums and Collars: shall be permanently welded in the factory to the drive axle, eliminating possible field error in the proper installation of the door assembly. Collars shall act as proper spacing agents in the pre-stretch of the torsion springs during door assembly, ensuring proper spring tolerances and door operation.

D. Drive Axle: shall be minimal of 1 5/16" (33.3mm) diameter torsion tube, minimizing deflection of door in the open position and ensuring perpendicular alignment of the axle to the supporting bracket plates at all times.

Support Bracket A. Bracket: formed of #12 US Gauge (275mm) hot-dipped galvanized steel. Bracket shall have factory pre-punched holes for spring alignment, guide attachment, spring adjustment, and a self lubricating nylon bushing for smooth operation and low friction fit of the 1 5/16" (33.3mm) minimal diameter door axle assembly.

Guide Assembly A. Guides: roll-formed of #18 US Gauge hot-dipped galvanized steel. A polypropylene strip shall be attached to inside edge, providing a wearstrip to prevent steel to steel contact between the door curtain and guide, allowing for longevity and quiet operation. This strip shall be designed so it is attached with locking edge to prevent removal after initial installation. Holes shall be factory pre-punched for attachment of the support brackets, attachment of the guides to steel framed opening, and the acceptance of a solid lock bar for security.

B. Mounting Brackets: shall be attached with countersunk rivets, eliminating any friction of the curtain in the guide, for mounting the door to a prepared masonry or wood opening. Brackets shall be manufactured from #12 US Gauge (275mm) hot-dipped galvanized steel, and have two round holes of equal diameter for the rivets used to attach the bracket to the guide assembly, and one 3/8" x 1" (9.53mm x 25.40mm) slotted hole for attachment and post installation adjustment of the bracket to the prepared opening.

Locking A. Slide Bar: to be a #13 US Gauge (235mm) zinc plated steel, slide and cover assembly mounted on exterior of curtain, suitable for 2 padlocks (by others). Slide bar lock shall be attached to the curtain with two tamper proof carriage bolts fastened securely through the curtain and a full width galvanized security plate located on the interior side of curtain. Entire assembly is factory installed for proper alignment and ease of field installation.

Curtain Stops A. Inside Door Stop: to be #12 US Gauge (275mm) hot-dipped galvanized steel, custom fitted at time of installation to provide an absolute stopping location of the bottom bar assembly at full open height of the door.

Packaging A. Curtain: shall be pre-rolled at time of manufacture for ease of installation in the field. Packaging shall consist of vertical cardboard strips under each drum the full height of the door; foam strips placed under each drum for the first full wrap; foam strips over lock nuts of factory pre-installed lock assembly; foam block (or cardboard) protection over the full width of the bottom bar to provide space from the curtain when rolled; exterior foam wrapped over total width of door; and plastic shrink wrap over total width of the door to ensure proper adhesion of the protective foam wrap and to protect the curtain from the elements during transportation and job site storage.

OPTIONS Door Components A. Jamb Extension Plates: for doors installed to steel openings a minimum return on inside of steel pier required for guide and door bracket attachment is 3 1/2" (90mm). For buildings designed with less than the required 3 1/2" (90mm) return, optional jamb extension brackets can be supplied for attachment to the existing steel frame, extending it to the required width for proper attachment of the door guide and bracket.

B. Ratcheting Tension Device: for single hand ease of adjustment to the counterbalance system to properly adjust the operation of the door.

C. Foil Backed Insulation: offers an insulating value of R5.24 (U.191) and combined with the foil backing, reduces radiant heat loss.

D. Steel Ball Bearing Support Brackets: provide for smooth operation of the door.

EXECUTION Installation A. Shipping: doors to be shipped F.O.B. U S Door & Building Components factory by LTL transport or on contract carriers.
