Curtain shall be roll-formed, 80,000 psi, 26-gauge galvanized steel sections interlocked and seamed together to form a continuous curtain for full-door height in a profile that minimizes door nesting.  Curtain shall have 9-gauge steel windlocks on each edge of the curtain and shall be spaced according to door size and the application's windloading requirements. Windlocks shall interlock with the guide, and shall be designed so as not to catch on the guide at point of entry, ensuring smooth door operation.  A flexible pvc strip shall be on each edge of the curtain's exterior side to prevent steel-to-steel contact, enhancing door operation and minimizing nesting and curtain scratching. Curtain shall be painted in one of the 14 standard colors. (Other colors available upon request.) Color warranty shall be a 20 year limited warranty on all standard colors.

Through-hole universal design shall allow easy access from the front of the guide for fastener attachment to concrete, wood, steel or masonry jambs and for welding to steel jamb or steel embedded in concrete/masonry door jambs. Guides shall be pre-punched to accept quick-connect bottom bar stops. Headplates shall be of 11-gauge steel and designed for
maximum strength to support the door shaft.
