Lifesafety
As building codes change and liability risks are considerations, IDEAL Door
works to set new standards in product safety. We're involved with such groups
as CSI, the SBCCI (Southern Building Code Conference for International),
UL, FM, and the ASTM (American Society of Testing and Material), helping to keep
our engineers, and you, at the front line of safety and code issues.

We put our products through rigorous testing
to make sure they not only meet industry standards, but surpass them. Pressurized
wind chamber and accelerated weather testing keeps IDEAL Door
on the leading edge, and ensure that you'll have an outstanding commercial
door system that perfectly fits your needs.
WindCode®
We have designs to meet windload codes in every juridiction.
The engineering staff regularly develop new technologies and have
tested their designs to exceed even Dade County's windload codes,
the most stringent in the country. Click here for

Environmental Testing
Testing our upward-acting doors against specific environmental challenges
is an ongoing process for us. Measuring the effects of salt spray, heat,
cold and ultraviolet rays, we learn what we, and you, can expect from
our doors. The answer: extreme quality.
Tempered Glass
If you are specifying doors with either full view or window lites,
we offer tempered glass as an addded safety feature.

Cycle Testing
Extensive cycle testing, measuring product performance throughout repeated
upward and downward cycles, helps ensure the integrity and quality of
our doors. Ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 cycles, depending on the application,
the tests focus primarily on wear factors related to components and assemblies
of our coiling steel and sectional door products.
Sensing Edges
We recommend that all doors with an opener have a sensing edge attached
to the bottom of the door. This will prevent the door from closing on individuals
or objects. Depending on the options and settings, an owner can customize
this function to stop and/or reverse. Sensing edges can be electric, electric
fail safe or pneumatic.

Break-away
Bottom Section
For doors where equipment (like forklifts)often pass through the opening,
we offer a re-settable breakaway bottom section. Unlike many competitive
offerings, IDEAL Door’s breakaway bottom section matches the exterior
appearance of the rest of the door. The section can be reset in a matter
of seconds, so downtime is eliminated and costly service calls and section
replacement can be avoided.
