Instant Unit Mix and Financial Scenarios Available Using Virtual Self-Storage Design Studio

U.S. Door & Building Components once again maintains leadership in the self-storage industry by introducing a Virtual Design Studio.  Participants are able to immediately see how changing their designs will affect their unit mix design and self-storage project return on investment.

“We are now able to work in real-time with our customers”, said Charles “Chip” Cordes, Vice President of U.S. Door & Building Components.  “The ability to change unit mixes, discuss different scenarios and show the results instantly saves time and helps our customers understand the best layout for their facility.”  

Additional features include financial modeling based on different “what if” scenarios.  Monthly and yearly returns can be calculated immediately on-line.  The program used allows the customer to navigate to www.gotomeeting.com and click on "Join a Meeting".  With the provided access number, the participant will be live on screen with a representative from U.S. Door.  In addition to unit mixes, participants can see "snap shot proformas", pictures and any other items of interest or relevance to a project. 

“I was able to fully participate in the design and control the mouse and screen from my location, said Jeff McClanahan, Managing Partner of W.B. McClanahan and Associates.  “Once the scenario and unit mix discussion was completed, I received an e-mail with the final copy.”

U.S. Door introduces Heavy Duty Rolling Slat-Type Doors

Introducing the new Models 800 and 900 Series doors by U.S. Door & Building Components, the only roll-up doors specifically designed for applications requiring doors that will stand up to heavy motorized traffic but offer unique features making them less expensive than similar heavy duty service doors. 

“These models complete our line of rolling slat-type doors “ said Chip Cordes, Vice President of U.S. Door & Building Components.  ”We now have rolling slat doors to fit nearly any requirement in the market including wind load applications”.

Both models feature 3” curved or flat slats made from a minimum of 22-gauge hot-dipped galvanized steel.  Individual slats can be replaced easily if damaged by equipment traffic insuring security, safety and long lasting aesthetic appeal.  Additional features include a PVC bulb-type astragal to seal against irregular floors, reduced drive chain hoist, and cast steel endlocks.  Options include cast steel windlocks and electric operation.  Doors can be installed in a steel, masonry or wood jamb and are available in galvanized, satin white, lightstone tan or duro-bronze finishes. 

Models 800 and 801 uniquely combine heavy duty rolling slat door features including a patent pending
6 5/8” steel pipe barrel and a structural steel wall angle with roll formed high tensile 12 gauge hot-dipped galvanized steel guides.  Options available are a 20-gauge hood and structural painted guides.

The 900 and 901 Models were designed to meet the highest standard rolling slat door specifications.  The guides are made from structural steel 3-piece angles; the bottom bar is constructed using 2-angle structural steel with a two part posi-lock door stop for extra safety.  Also standard is a 20-gauge steel hood.  Options include 18 or 20-gauge steel, stainless steel, aluminum and insulated slats. 

Model 536 installation video is now available from US Door & building components

An installation DVD for the Model 536 Door is now available from U.S. Door & Building Components.  The video is a supplement to the written instructions and shows each necessary step to install the doors including checking the jambs for plumb, measuring the opening to insure there is sufficient clearance, guide and bracket mounting, lifting the door in place and adjustment of tension after installation is completed. 

The Model 536 commercial roll-up sheet door is an economical alternative to slat type doors.  They are available in sizes up to 12’ wide by 12’ high and in 22 different colors.  All models are available for shipment from locations in Orlando, FL and Mesa, AZ.  For additional information, call 407-859-6770 or visit www.usdoor.com.
