Operator Information
There are many factors to consider when choosing how your door will operate. How fast you want it to open, how many times a day will it cycle and if there is power available are just a few of these factors. Here, you will find information on each of our available operators.
Types of Operators

Manual Operators
Manual Operation is cost effective and best suited for applications with smaller doors, in buildings that don't have power, or in areas that will cycle infrequently.

Fire-rated manual operators
Our line of fire-rated manual operators include: AlarmGard™ Chain or Crank, and FireGard™ Chain or Crank.

Motor Operators
Motor operation is the most effective and consistent method of opening larger, higher cycle doors and offers door longevity, ease of use, safety, remote activation, and durability.
