FAQs: Vertical Lift Doors

Here you will find the most important questions and answers regarding ASSA ABLOY vertical lift doors.

  • ASSA ABLOY vertical lift doors are automatic systems commonly used in industrial settings and warehouses, where safety is paramount. The break-away system in these doors ensures maximum safety in the event of unexpected separations or breaks. This mechanism stops the door immediately if the connection to the drive system is interrupted, minimising the risk of collisions or injuries. In many operational environments, especially those with extremely large openings, a break-away function is often required by regulations.

  • Vertical lift doors are engineered to withstand extreme conditions, including strong winds, constant moisture, and even exposure to mud, all while maintaining durability and a tight seal. This resilience is due to their minimal use of moving parts and the incorporation of corrosion-resistant, robust materials. ASSA ABLOY vertical lift doors exemplify these qualities, making them ideal for demanding environments.

  • Vertical lift doors are space-saving solutions, ideal for large door openings. They open vertically, allowing full use of the space inside and in front of the building without requiring swing space. Even at the ceiling level, the flexible fabric material folds or rolls up compactly, ensuring efficient storage and maximised usable space.

  • Yes, an ASSA ABLOY vertical lift door can contribute to reducing energy expenses. These doors are designed with powerful motors and flexible materials that enable quick opening and closing, minimising heat loss and air exchange. Additionally, selecting insulating fabric options can further enhance energy efficiency, reducing the need for supplementary heating or cooling.

  • ASSA ABLOY vertical lift doors are highly versatile, suitable for dry, wet, hot, or cold environments. For example, polar fabrics are ideal for extremely low temperatures, while heat-resistant fabrics are designed for high-temperature areas or locations exposed to strong chemicals. For soundproofing needs, sound-dampening fabric options are available, making these doors perfect for noisy facilities or environments requiring noise reduction.
