Pass doors, breakaway bottom doors and the ControlGard® SD chain hoist.

Pass Doors

Pass doors are ideal in applications where space is too limited for the installation of a standard entry door. They conserve energy by allowing building access via a smaller opening versus the entire sectional door, this minimizes wear and tear on the door as well saves electric operator cycles. In inclement weather, the heat or cold distribution between inside and outside of the building is minimized, conserving additional energy costs.

  • Non-welded aluminum frame with shiplap design affords added strength and durability while providing a weather-tight door seal. Rain cap feature protects door entrance against accumulated water during rain showers.
  • Geared hinge ensures smooth operation and enhances longevity of the pass door.
  • Commercial door closer ensures safe and quiet closure.
  • Continuous boxed channel bottom rail adds additional strength against wind and horizontal deflection.
Available On3720, 3722, 3724, 3200 and 3220 insulated models.
Available ColorsPass door frames are available in White or Brown. Other colors are available via custom order with extended lead times.

Controlgard® SD Chain Hoist

The ControlGard SD Chain Hoist is a controlled descent sectional door hand hoist with an integral braking system allowing users to operate the door with confidence. Unlike standard chain hoists that could allow the door to move out of control, with ControlGard SD the door only moves when the user is actively pulling the chain reducing the risk of mishandling the door. When the chain is not actively pulled the brake engages keeping the door in place.

Enhanced Control:

  • Reduces the risk of mishandling the door
  • Reduces potential for the door to slam or chain to fly up

Ease of Use:

  • Brake engages when the chain is not actively pulled
  • Door stays in place when the chain is not engaged
  • Acts as a lock without the need for a chain keeper

Compact Design:

  • Brake is seamlessly integrated into the hoist mechanism
  • Requires only 3 ½” of side clearance
