Roll-Up and Sheet Doors
The simple, durable answer when you have a lot of openings to close.
A roll-up sheet door is one continuous sheet of steel that curls onto a barrel above the opening. No sections, no hinges, no torsion spring across the header. Fewer parts than a sectional door, which is exactly why they last in buildings where nobody is going to maintain them.
They are what you see on self-storage units, warehouse back walls, agricultural buildings and light commercial. We supply, install and service DBCI, which builds them in volume and in enough series to match what a building actually needs.
Light Duty and Heavy Duty Are Not Marketing Terms
DBCI's light-duty series, the 650, 750, 1950 and 2000, are built for openings that get used but not hammered. Storage units, small shops, buildings where a door opens a few times a day.
The heavy-duty series, the 1950HD, 2500 and 3100, use heavier gauge steel and reinforced construction for openings in daily commercial or industrial use.
The difference shows up in years three through ten, not on installation day. A light door on a heavy opening does not fail immediately. It fails slowly, and then all at once, usually on the door somebody needs most.
If you are re-dooring a building, tell us how the openings are actually used rather than what they were specified as originally. Buildings change hands and change jobs.

Self-Storage
If you are building a facility or re-dooring one, this is the line. DBCI is one of the names that supplies that industry at scale, which means parts stay available and a door damaged in year six can be matched rather than replaced with something close.
For a facility, the practical questions are unit mix, how many openings, whether you want them keyed or latched, and how quickly you need the site closed in.
Also Available
Swing doors and locker doors, pre-assembled for fast installation in commercial buildings.
Motor operators, for openings that are too heavy or too frequent for a chain hoist. Worth considering anywhere a door gets opened more than a few times a day, because manual operation is where the injuries and the wear come from.
What a Sheet Door Is Not
It is not an insulated sectional door. It does not seal like one and it does not insulate like one. If the building is conditioned, or the door faces weather on a side that matters, say so before we quote and we will talk through whether a sectional is the better answer.
We would rather tell you that up front than sell you the wrong door twice.
