Doors
are designed and fabricated to last for the life of
the building.
These
high-cycle doors regularly operate over two million
times and only require minimal amounts of maintenance.
- Low
maintenance maximizes the usefulness of the door application
by minimizing out-of-service time and inconvenience.
- Minimal
repairs over the life of the door reduces the need
for costly service plans.
EPD

operating mode whenever power failures occur.
- No
tools are required for conversion from powered to
manual operation.
- The
door panels swing open or closed with minimal force.

Damage
to vehicles and doors is a major problem for parking
garages. EPD has several features on the Four-Fold Door
to help solve this problem:
The
door's operating method reduces the likelihood of damage.
- Rapidly
moving door panels travel in horizontal directions.
- Sideways
motion along with quick two-feet-per-second opening
and closing speeds keep the door panels in the sight-line
of the driver at all times, thus reducing the chances
of damage.
Automated
door controls are custom engineered to prevent damage.
- Through-beam
photo electric eyes, inductive detection loops, microwave,
ultra-sonic and other sensors are used to control
door logic sequences.
- Pressure
sensitive edges are applied to critical areas on the
door panels and provide control signals to the logic
panel.

of our Secured Parking Door systems:

variety of controls are available including inter-faces
with existing parking and security control systems.
