Generally speaking, doors are used to control entry and exit points. They ensure that only authorized personnel, equipment and products can enter or exit a place. However, warehouse doors do way more than that: they are vital components of warehouse infrastructure, contributing to security, safety, operational efficiency, environmental control, energy efficiency, and compliance with regulations.

The most common uses of the doors that are typically found at a warehouse are:

• Truck docking
• Internal area separation
• Emergency / Evacuation doors
• Pedestrian doors

Each warehouse door needs to be further specified in terms of :

• Materials: steel, aluminum, fiberglass, PVC, high performance fabric
• Opening mechanism: vertical lift, sliding, rolling, high speed roll up, swing, bi-fold, etc.
• Temperature requirement: ambient, A/C, refrigerated, chilled, frozen, etc.
• Other considerations: insulation, air flow reduction, fire protection, etc.
• Noise cancellation requirements
• Durability & longevity
