Overhead Door Corp. RapidSlat

Overhead Door Corp.’s RapidSlat door system is part of the company’s Rolling Steel line. RapidSlat offers the benefits of a lightweight fabric door with those of a heavier rolling steel door in one system, allowing owners to purchase one door instead of two. Additional features include reliable springless operation without a counterbalance, universal components for easy maintenance, a self-energizing stop-lock brake to prevent uncontrolled curtain travel, and a graffiti-resistent powdercoat finish. A variety of wind-load, insulation, and weather-seal options are available, and advanced diagnostics allow for quick troubleshooting. overheaddoor.com
