Aluminum-Slatted Doors vs. Steel or Swing-Out Doors

Aluminum-slatted roll-up doors (shutter doors) have these advantages over traditional steel corrugated doors or swing out doors:

• Fast – availability as low as 2 weeks (mill finish). Reduced installation time, available as a pre-framed roll-up door
• Secure – available with keyed locking mechanism
• Corrosion Resistant – made from aluminum and won’t rust like steel
• Aesthetics – available in automotive grade finishes including standard satin metal finish or painted finish
• Maximizes Illumination – rolled up door does not block lighting fixtures or translucent panels
• Automation – can be automated with 12VDC batteries with a turnkey and compact tube motor solution (including FOB and keypad options)
• Reduce shipping costs – dual-walled aluminum slats are lower weight than traditional steel swing doors or steel roll-up doors
• More overhead clearance – feature thinner slats than stacked corrugation of steel doors, resulting in a smaller roll-up diameter
• Durability – door rigidity is maintained due to the door’s unique geometry of dual-walled slat design
• Customizable – Dynatect can provide just the slatted doors and vertical rails for the fabricator to design their own door movement geometry (including horizontal rails, tensioning mechanisms, etc.)

Multiple Door Options

Shipping containers can be modified to accept manually-operated or Powered (motorized) roll-up doors. Manual aluminum roll-up doors are available as a standard installation with side rail track options, or as a Pre-Framed assembly.
