Interchangeable Stacking Direction
Feel free to change which side the door stacks to during installation, or where you would like to place a bipart. All of our posts feature the same universal connector, allowing for flexible placement of posts in the final door assembly.
Reversible Locking
Did you order the locks on the wrong side of the door? No problem. All of our posts can be turned around in the track to put the locks where you need them.
On top of that, when a lead post is ordered with a single-sided lock, it will automatically be equipped with a dummy cylinder on the opposite side. This not only allows the post to be reversed, but also means that if you change your mind down the road, the post is all set to accept a second thumbturn or cylinder.
Adjustable Height
Every post hanger is adjustable to help with height variances on site. Every hookbolt lock plate is adjustable to make sure the door locks securely every time. Every lock rod is adjustable
Recessed Hardware
Our unique post design recesses the locking hardware to provide a polished look and avoid bumps and dings caused by protruding parts.
Corrosion Resistance
Corrosion on lock and door components can not only be unsightly, but can cause performance issues or component failure over time.
That why all of the components in our posts are made of corrosion resistant materials, from extruded aluminum and high performance plastics, to plated and stainless steels.
Pull Straps
Doors just work better when operated correctly. To help with that, all leading posts over 9’ tall come with a high quality pull strap that makes it easy to pull the door down the track and around curves.
The quick-set clip allows you to make the straps as long or short as you need for your application.
