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.

Automated door controls are custom engineered to prevent damage.
