Few buildings require the need for versatile doors as much as convention centers and multi-use arenas.

A single door opening on a convention center might be needed to handle vehicles, equipment and pedestrian traffic. EPD doors are designed to handle these multiple requirements.

• Pedestrian doors can be incorporated into larger sliding or vertical lift door panels to accommodate handicapped and emergency egress needs.
  
• EPD doors can be manufactured with acoustical insulation, seals and cladding to provide sound attenuation if required.
  
• A variety of controls and locking devices are available for specific applications.
  
• There are no springs on EPD Vertical Lift Doors. EPD's spring-less door design eliminates the fear of spring failures causing doors to crash downward as sometimes occurs with roll-up and overhead sectional doors.
  
• EPD Vertical Lift Doors are weight counter-balanced and provided with revolutionary safety catches in each panel.

EPD can custom design any of our door styles for Convention Center and Multi-Use Arena applications. The following door styles typically handle most requirements:

• Four-Fold
• Sliding
• Vertical Lift & Vertical Acting

EPD Doors Don't Need to Look Like Doors

EPD Granite Clad Vertical Lift Doors

Above:
These three doors are positioned in a wall that adjoins the convention center and a local hotel located in Rosemont, Illinois.

Whenever the doors are closed, the granite cladding and chrome reveals match the surrounding granite walls of the hotel lobby.

During convention hours, the door can be opened to allow conventioneers direct access between the hall and hotel.

The doors are battery operated and can automatically open during emergencies to allow egress.

Vertical Acting Panels provide security whenever necessary and then appear to vanish during business hours.

A ceiling mounted EPD vertical drop door is used at the New Washington D.C. Convention Center to provide an attractive security wall during intervals in convention activities.

The door is raised during convention hours, providing access to food and news-stand concessions.
