Features of the Model 650 Mini Storage Door

Door Springs - During production, each spring is coated with a generous amount of grease that penetrates the innermost pores of the spring with additives, displacing moisture and preventing the formation of rust and corrosion. In addition, this process relieves the friction created between spring coils, thereby providing smoother door operation. Finally, the spring and axle assembly is enclosed in a tube to protect them from the elements encountered throughout the life of the door.

Picture of roll up doors packed using package protection method Package Protection and Shipping - Doors stacked on top of each other in transit are going to shift...unless they can be packaged in a way to minimize the sliding that occurs during that time. Janus has found a solution. Each door is suspended individually in the crates. Whether they travel down the block or across the country, compaction damages, door abrasions and chatter marks are virtually eleminated.

Roll up door ratchet tensioning device Ratchet Tensioning Device - The Janus ratchet tensioning device, supplied as standard equipment on our door, offers a simpler method of tensioning while more accurately fine tuning all the springs on the door at the same time. There is no extra hardware required. Eight different positions on the tension wheel allow one to perfectly balance the door every time. There are no pins required to hold the tension on the spring...you simply just click it.

Radial Ball Bearings - Janus supplies radial ball bearings at no additional cost to you. Our pemanently Picture of roll up door stops lubricated bearings require no maintenance and are guaranteed to last the entire life span of the door.

Door Stops - Our removable door stops are simple to install and prevent the curtain from over traveling the guide when raising the door.

Roll up door dead axle assembly picture Head Axle and Torque Tube Assembly - This design, noted for its durability and smoother operation with commercial applications, has now been incorporated into the Janus self storage door. The tube housing protects the springs and strenghtens the axle. Eliminating axle push and shift that can occur with a live axle, the dead axle design allows for a straighter travel path of the door curtain in the guides. The greatest feature of this design is that it affords the fine tuning of any spring adjustment to equally affect all springs on the dor at the same time.

Picture of magnetic mini storage outside lock Magnetic Stainless Steel Latch - Our new patented mini latch features a cover plate made from a heavy gauge of stainless steel. In addition, the latch cover protects the slide from tampering by completely covering the slide with the exception of a tab used to operate the latch. To further secure the door, the latch's two-inch throw with its magnetic properties can be incorporated with the new guide-mounted security devices. This versatile design affords the ability for you to utilize padlocks, cylinder licks or both.

All Drums are fitted with a grease filled, shielded radial ball bearing to contribute to a smoother operation and reduce wear and friction.
Factory installed galvanized reinforced 12 gauge Brackets are designed to easily snap onto the guides, reduing installation time.
Galvanized, guide-mounted Head Stops are simple to install and prevent curtain over travel when raising the door. Installed through the guide after curtain is lowered, they provide definite contact with the bottom bar angle and stop clips.

Oil tempered helical torsion Springs are factory lubricated to minimize friction and corrosion while increasing the spring cycle life. Spring wire conforms to ASTM A 229.
Full width galvanized steel Barrel totally encloses the drums, springs and axle. Barrel-type construction redues door sag, eliminates drum dents and improves operation due to an even support of the curtain for the entire width.
Galvanized and pre-painted with long lasting silcone polyester paint, the 26 gauge Corrugated Curtain is roll formed from ASTM A 653 grade 80 full hard steel. This premium steel yields greater door strength and minimized curtain damage. Full height felt tape on back of curtain prevents nesting and reduces paint rubbing. 20 colors are standard with others available on special order.
Roll formed 18 gauge galvanized guides are fitted with dual polyethylene wear strips to reduce friction and muffle door noises.
