Top-hung or bottom-rolling. We hang the door from above or run it on a floor rail depending on what the building can support.
Robust build. Steel-framed leaves with steel, panel or timber cladding.
Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
Electric operation. Motorised leaves with the safety devices needed to protect against crushing and shearing.
