A rolling steel door protects a commercial building against theft and harsh weather, just to name a few benefits. This style features metal pieces that roll up into a barrel at the top of the door frame. Since rollup doors don't have the cables, tracks, wheels and hinges that sectional doors have, they don't require as much maintenance. Rollup doors also don't take up as much space as sectional doors. 

Our team at Cookson offers custom-made doors to meet your exact specifications. Explore the different types of rollup garage doors below.

1. Rollup Security Door

A rollup security door is a cost-effective way to bring airflow inside while keeping a building safe from theft. The curtains — the metal slats that make up the door — can be any color or pattern you desire. Rollup security doors have sturdy materials with few parts, making installation and maintenance easy over time. This type of door is suitable for any area of your commercial property.

About Our Rollup Security Door

Cookson offers high-security rollup doors for superior protection against theft and vandalism. They're also durable and can withstand harsh weather conditions. Our doors stand up to daily use and can have a lifespan of about 50,000 cycles before you need to repair them. This style provides more clearance in areas that don't have a lot of headroom. It comes in motorized, hand-crank or push-up operations.

With custom options, you can create the rollup security door of your dreams that is also the best fit for your application. Consider these features as you design your door:

• Safety: As a business owner, part of your job is to keep your employees and customers safe. Think about adding weather seals, locks and wind load protection to your door for additional security.
• Material: Your rollup security door can be aluminum, stainless steel or galvanized steel.
• Windows: You can opt for one-way or two-way integrated windows if you want to introduce more natural lighting and visibility to your facility.
• Finish: For a unique look, you can add mill, clear anodized, black anodized or medium bronze anodized or dark bronze anodized finishes. SpectraShield™ powder coating is also available, so you can choose from one of more than 180 different colors.
• Graphics: If you have a logo you want to highlight on your rollup security doors, you can add full-color vinyl graphics.
• Slats: Choose the shape and size of your slats to change up the amount of ventilation and visibility they provide.

2. High-Performance Rollup Door

A high-performance rollup door is a security door that is better suited for high-traffic areas that need extra protection. Offering fast, reliable operation, you can get your rollup door in vinyl, steel, rubber or aluminum. Whether you need weather protection or a guard against impact damage from forklift and vehicle impacts, you can use it in many manufacturing industries, including:

• Steel
• Mining
• Pulp and paper
• Petroleum
• Agriculture

About Our Extreme® 300 Series High-Performance Door

Consider installing our Extreme® 300 Series high-performance rollup door in your high-traffic area. This product can last for up to 300,000 cycles. This rapid roll door will boost productivity and help you stay on track with your day-to-day tasks.

This door has the following features that make it stand out among the rest:

• Springless design: Broken springs are one of the main reasons high-speed rollup doors fail. Since our doors don't have springs, there's less room for error. They operate smoothly and quickly, and guarantee a soft start and stop. As a result, you won't have much wear and tear on the door and operator.
• High-speed performance: The doors in the 300 series have opening speeds of up to 24 inches per second. A door that operates quickly improves energy efficiency, provides a productive workday and ensures consistent workflow. Consider installing an insulated door to enhance its energy efficiency.
• Intelligent control: Our 300 Series doors feature our Apex SmartController System. This system features plug-and-play wiring and an easy-to-use control panel that alerts you of your overhead door's status and sets door limits. It has instructions that are easy to follow as you commission your door and perform other tasks.

3. Weather-Resistant Rollup Door

Weather-resistant rollup doors give you peace of mind when there's a storm in the forecast. These doors typically feature insulation and wind-rated products that can withstand heavy winds. If you live in an area that experiences hurricanes or other harsh weather conditions regularly, consider upgrading your rollup garage door and using insulation, weatherstripping and impact glass for your door.

About Our StormDefender® Rollup Door

With our StormDefender® rollup doors, you can turn your esteemed commercial building into a strong storm shelter during emergencies. They stay hidden until you need to use them and will continue to work even if you lose power. Since we manufacture these products ourselves, we can customize them to fit your company's needs.

You can use these shutter doors in any commercial location with safety requirements, including:

• K-12 schools and universities
• Municipal buildings
• Emergency facilities

Our doors meet all safety requirements for tornado and hurricane protection, including International Code Council (ICC) 500 code and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) P-361 Third-Edition code standards. Whether you need to follow these regulations or want to provide a safer environment for your employees and guests, you can install these easily in any commercial facility.

These doors protect your building from positive and negative wind pressures of at least 300 PSF and remain resilient when hit by flying objects. We've also added fire-rating factors to your door to further comply with safety regulations and give you total peace of mind.

4. Fire-Rated Rollup Door

Fire-rated rollup doors prevent the spread of fire in a building due to their fire-resistant materials and ability to detect fire. This type of door will close automatically if there's a fire in the building so that smoke and flames don't spread to different parts of the building. A fire-rated door features heavy-duty galvanized steel and fire-resistant insulation. Even though this type of door is helpful in case of an emergency, you can use it for your commercial building during any part of the day as long as it's not in the path of egress.

About Our Thermiser® Insulated Rolling Door

Our Thermiser® rolling doors are energy-efficient and secure due to their foamed-in-place insulation and galvanized steel construction. They have our patented door perimeter sealing system around them to protect your commercial building against harsh weather conditions and extreme temperatures. The insulation also reduces sound transfer, giving your employees and customers privacy.

Our doors can withstand an operational wind load of 20 PSF, and, like our other doors, we can customize yours for you. In terms of performance, the Thermiser® can withstand 20 cycles a day, or 50,000 cycles in a lifetime. You can also choose a powder coating that enhances your commercial building's design aesthetic.
