Who we build for
Start With Your Facility
A wash tunnel, a fleet bay, a salt shed, and a service drive each destroy a door in a different way. We build a specific answer for each one. Pick yours.
Car Washes
Chlorinated presoaks, constant humidity, and a door that cycles with every wash. Standard doors rust from the hardware in.
Polycarbonate and full-vision glass doors with stainless hardware tiers built for the tunnel.
Wash bay doors →
Truck & Fleet Washes
Oversized openings take the same soak and chemistry at twice the span, where most doors start sagging.
Goliath doors engineered for extra-large openings without giving up translucent panels or wash-duty hardware.
Large-opening doors →
DOT & Salt Storage
Salt brine ends galvanized hardware early, and a failed door on a salt shed is a winter operations problem.
DOT-grade door packages: corrosion-rated panels, stainless hardware, and operators specified for the exposure.

Dealership Service Bays
The service drive is a storefront. A dented steel door reads as neglect from the customer lot.
UltraClear full-vision glass doors that keep daylight in the bay and the building glass-forward.
Full-vision doors →Also running in food processing plants, marinas, fire halls, and agricultural buildings. All industries

Built Against the Three Ways Doors Die Here
Every product decision traces back to one of three failure modes. If your building has one of them, this is the catalog that was designed around it.
Wash Chemistry & Corrosion
Daily chlorinated wash cycles and high-pH detergents find every plated surface. We build with aluminum frames, polycarbonate and tempered glass panels, and 304 or 316 stainless hardware, because the material either survives the chemistry or it does not.
Northern Winters
We design and build these doors in Bemidji, Minnesota, where our own winters test every seal and thermal break. R-17 insulated sections, beveled rails that shed water before it freezes, and operators configured against freeze-ups.
Cycle Counts That Never Stop
A busy wash opens and closes the door hundreds of times a day. High-cycle springs rated to 100,000 cycles, sealed-bearing Magnum rollers, and slow-start slow-stop operators keep that pace from becoming a maintenance schedule.

Planning your project
Start with your opening.
We’ll help with the rest.
Get a door and operator recommendation based on your facility, exposure, and daily use. You do not need a finished specification to start.
Discuss your project- What to send
- Your facility type, approximate opening sizes, number of doors, and location. Tell us about daily use and exposure to wash chemicals, salt, or cold. Partial information is enough to start.
- What affects the price
- Opening size, panel material, hardware, and operator choice shape the door package. Door count, freight, and installation also affect the total project budget.
- What you get next
- A recommended door and operator package, pricing, and lead time. We work through the specifications and shop drawings with you and your installer before the door is built.
