Cold storage, food service, manufacturing.
High-cycle roll-up doors for cold storage, food service, manufacturing, and clean rooms. Speed, seal integrity, and uptime engineered for production environments. Written quote, COI same day. Rytec, Hörmann, Albany Doors authorized — family-owned since 1979.
Metro installs and services high-speed roll-up doors across the Atlanta metro — fabric and rigid-curtain high-speed doors for cold storage, food service, manufacturing, and clean rooms. Cycle counts of 50,000+ per year, opening speeds of 60+ inches per second, with seal integrity engineered for temperature and pressure differentials. Authorized for Rytec, Hörmann, and Albany Doors.
We don't put a 10,000-cycle door on a 50,000-cycle opening. Spec confirmed by your annual cycle count, conditioning differential, and traffic type before the quote goes out.
High-speed doors fail at the seals first, not the curtain. We test the seal pressure across the full perimeter on every install and again at every annual service visit.
For forklift impact zones we spec breakaway curtains that reset back into the tracks on the next cycle — no service call for a routine impact, no down door.
Specifying a high-speed door is a different exercise than a standard sectional. Cycle count, conditioning differential, and impact exposure drive the spec — and the wrong spec costs you in energy loss, seal failures, and emergency calls.
Three categories. Rigid-panel high-speed doors (interlocking aluminum slats — used in security and cold-storage applications where curtain rigidity matters), fabric-curtain high-speed doors (PVC or vinyl fabric — used for indoor traffic, clean rooms, and conditioned-space dividers), and breakaway impact doors (fabric curtain designed to release from tracks on impact and reset on next cycle — used in forklift and traffic zones where impacts are routine).
Speed and cycle ratings. Standard sectional doors open at 12–14 inches per second; high-speed doors run 60–96 inches per second. The speed reduces conditioned-air loss in cold storage and food service (door is open for a fraction of the time), reduces traffic backup in indoor manufacturing aisles, and reduces accidental contact with personnel and forklifts. Cycle ratings: 50,000 to 1,000,000+ per year depending on construction.
Pressure and temperature differentials. Cold storage maintains 35–60°F differentials between freezer and dock. Food service and pharma maintain pressure differentials (typically 0.05–0.10 inches of water column) to prevent contamination. Seal failure on a high-speed door = energy loss + compliance issue. We test seal pressure across the full perimeter at install and at every annual service.
Self-repair impact mechanisms. The most important feature for traffic zones — when a forklift or pallet jack hits the curtain, the side seals release from the tracks rather than tearing the curtain. The curtain resets back into the tracks on the next cycle, no service call needed. We've seen breakaway doors take 10+ impacts per shift in heavy distribution facilities with no downtime.
Integration with traffic control. Loop detectors in the floor (vehicle activation), motion sensors (pedestrian activation), RFID readers (fleet tracking + access control), and emergency stops (required by code at certain pedestrian-traffic configurations). We spec the full activation package alongside the door and integrate with your existing dock-management or warehouse-management systems where applicable.
High-speed doors fail differently than standard sectional. If any of these match your facility, call (770) 526-1214 — we keep common parts on the truck.
High-speed doors run their motors at the upper end of the duty cycle by design. After 50,000+ cycles the motor windings or the gearbox can degrade. We diagnose with a motor amperage check; replace the motor if amperage is over spec, recalibrate balance and limits if not.
Seals are the wear part on high-speed doors — they cycle thousands of times per year and compress against the floor and tracks. A 1/4-inch gap in a cold-storage seal can cost more in energy loss than the seal replacement. We replace the seal kit and test pressure across the full perimeter.
If the existing door isn't a breakaway design, a forklift impact tears the curtain rather than releasing it. We replace the curtain section (or the full curtain depending on damage), and recommend swapping to a breakaway design at the next install. Most breakaway upgrades pay back in service calls avoided within 18 months.
