GALVANIZED ENDLOCKS
Hot dipped galvanized cast iron endlocks and windlocks riveted to the ends of every alternate slat, with (4) four, 1/4” rivets.

BOTTOM BAR
Two roll formed galvanized steel angles equipped with vinyl weatherstripping which extends into the guides. Standard finish galvanized as per ASTM A 653/A653 M.

BRACKET PLATES
Steel plate not less than 1/4” thick. The drive end bracket plate is fitted with a sealed ball bearing. The plates are bolted to the wall mounting angle with 1/2” fasteners. The plate supports the counterbalance assembly and forms an end enclosure.

GUIDES
Guides are designed using structural steel angles with a minimum thickness of 3/16”, minimum 1 1/4” slotted connections and removable bellmount curtain stops to allow for curtain maintenance without removal of the guides. Bellmouth stops shall be flush with the guide groove. (Option: Vinyl Weather Stripping)

COUNTERBALANCE ASSEMBLY
Steel pipe barrel of a size capable of carrying a curtain load with a maximum deflection of 0.03” per ft. of door width. The Heat treated helical torsion springs are encased in a steel pipe barrel designed for proper door balance. This is to ensure that effort to operate the door will not exceed 35 lbs. A sealed and prelubricated ball bearing is present at rotating support points. A Charge Wheel is located outside the end bracket, which is used for applying initial spring torque and for future adjustments.

HOOD Hexagon (Option: Square or Round)
Produced in 22 gauge steel and formed to fit the contour of the brackets with 3/8” thick intermediate supports used as needed to prevent excessive sag.

STRIPPING
The bottom bar is equipped with a Neoprene Astragal. The guides are provided with Snap-on vinyl. The Hood contains a Neoprene baffle.

Available in push-up, hand chain, hand-crank, or motor operation.
