How Easy IS THIS OVERHEAD Door to install, operate and maintain?

 

INSTALLATION | The long process of installation can be frustrating, especially when it comes with complicated instructions and requires many tools you simply don't have. That's why we've made roll-up doors that are known for being a quick and easy install project. You can wave goodbye to tedious instructions, heavy materials and lengthy installation processes. And, if you're not in the position to install the doors yourself, we can even coordinate with a skilled install team to get your project off the ground as quickly as possible.

 

OPERATION | ASTA America roll-up doors all come included with spiral torque tubes, tension holding devices and adjustment available in the bracket systems to ensure they're sustainable and easy to operate for years to come.

 

MAINTENANCE | Maintaining a door with many working parts can be daunting, especially when those parts are all exposed to environmental elements aiding their wear and tear. That's why we've made roll-up doors with pre-assembled parts in the factory such as enclosed lubricated springs, so you don't have to worry about the time-consuming maintenance steps that other doors and designs require. That's less time spent on door maintenance, less money spent on labor costs and more time back in your day.
