OVERVIEW

The “Y” pushers are located on the center fold of the door. The number of Y pushers is determined by the number of lift cables, one pusher for every cable. They provide the initial outward push from the center hinge for a smooth opening and closing motion.

The shaft of the Y pushers consists of a galvanized steel tube which is attached to the door frame with a roller bearing hinge. This hinge allows the Y pushers to swivel during the opening sequence.

Y pusher ends are made from a high-quality plastic. This is to prevent cable wear, create a smooth surface for the cable to glide on, and allow for simple replacement if needed. We have made them yellow for clearance visibility.

OVERVIEW

The weather seal kit comes with top and bottom seals and come standard with every door.

The top weather seal is a rubberized canvas, covering the hinges and sealing the connection between the door and the building. This seal is fastened in between the door frame and top door trim. The other side is fastened to the building behind the cladding. The top seal comes standard in white but is available in black and charcoal upon request.

The bottom rubber seal is fastened to the bottom of the door by an aluminum track, sealing the space between the lower door frame and your finished floor. The rubber seal is designed with ribs to prevent the seal from freezing to the ground. These seals are available in different sizes to accommodate any fluctuation in your finished floor elevation or deflection of the building.

OVERVIEW

The master Up/Down/Stop Controller is wired directly into the door’s Genesys Electrical Box. This controller can be positioned on either side of the door and is mounted to the building. The controller comes prewired from factory. Our controller meets both Canadian and American electrical standards and is a NEMA 4/12 (sealed enclosure, dust-proof), UL certified controller.

Our Up/Down/Stop Controller allows the user to push the button and walk away while the door cycles, compared to other competitor door systems that require users to press and hold the button during the entire opening/closing sequence.

OVERVIEW

Each frame is manufactured with HSS tubular steel. The doors are designed with a variety of tube sizes. Sizing is determined by door size, wind loads, and weight of the exterior finishing. Thicker steel is used in areas where loads are greater, and steel is minimized in areas (where applicable) to reduce weight and loads on the building. This maximizes strength while maintaining a lightweight design.

The triple internal truss is designed to prevent deflection of the door by strengthening the frame to withstand the wind loads of your location. All three trusses are strategically placed on the inside of the door frame to provide the door with a polished exterior look.

Steel is prepared in an acid wash bath, which removes any oil and debris before being assembled by a certified CWB (Canadian Welding Bureau) welder.

The frame is painted with a quality two-part urethane finish paint. The standard colour is charcoal gray. This finish is extremely durable and weather resistant.

OVERVIEW

The single lever locking system comes standard with every door. Our design is maintenance free, simple to use, and customizable.

Rather than the two-latch system used by many companies, the Diamond Doors manual locking system uses a single lever to operate. This means that the lever unlocks both sides of the door simultaneously, which makes getting in and out of your building quicker and easier. This locking handle can be positioned on either side of door for quick and easy access.

When the system is engaged, the locking fingers press against the locking catches pulling the door tight against the building. The system is designed to create an exceptional seal from the outside environment.

Every door is equipped with a safety Single Point Lock Switch for manual locking doors. For the door opener to operate, the safety switch must be completely engaged. This switch prevents operation of the bi-fold door while the door is locked, preventing structural damage to your door, locking system, and building. It also prevents the door opener from straining against a locked door and burning out.

All of Diamond Doors locking systems are maintenance free. The locking systems are installed and set up in the factory. No onsite adjustment is required.

OVERVIEW

Located on the bottom corners of the door, the rollers run vertically on the door track as the door opens and closes. Our roller design is not just a simple bearing. The bearing itself is double sealed industrial grade. We press the bearing into a CNC stainless steel machined beveled sleeve. The result is a roller with superior longevity, no maintenance, and smooth operation.

Diamond Doors offers two roller styles, the cantilever roller and inset roller. During the door design process, the roller type is chosen based on door application and roller loads.

The cantilever roller design is the standard roller for doors less than 60’ wide. It is new and improved for easier install, operation reliability, and improved seal of the door.

This exclusive roller design allows the bottom rubber seal to extend further into the column, creating a superior seal. The roller wear cap on the face of the roller provides a low friction surface, so even with minor building shift or track misalignment, the door will continue to open and close with ease. This is to avoid damage to the roller itself and provide a low maintenance replacement option. Since the roller is cantilevered, installers are no longer required to trim sheeting or insulation upon installation.

The inset roller design is used on doors larger than 60’ wide. The roller is inset to better transfer loads into the door frame. This design has been tested to be effective for larger applications.

OVERVIEW

The photo electric safety sensors (photo eyes) prevent the door from closing if any obstacles are present within the door’s opening. These safety sensors can be used in multiples to create a photo curtain. This option is highly recommended for commercial and public buildings.

We take the safety of our doors very seriously, which is why our photo electric sensors come standard with every door, as is required by code. Our up/down/stop controller allow our customers to push a button and walk away while the door operates, in contrast to competitor designs that require the button be held for the entire cycle. With this added convenience comes the added security that your door will operate safely.

OVERVIEW

All necessary mounting hardware is provided with each Diamond door. The hardware provided is based on the type of building to which the door will be mounted, such as a fabric quonset, wood straight wall, or steel rigid frame.

OVERVIEW

Diamond Doors uses highly specialized cables that utilize an extremely fine weave and fiber core for exceptional lifespan. These cables have 18 braids of 7 strands per braid and a flexible nylon rope center. Common competitor door cables use a 7×19 cable, which is 7 braids with 19 strands per braid. Our design has increased flexibility and longevity.

We are committed to creating quality products, which is why we go above and beyond, engineering our doors with a 10x cable safety factor. Using more cables translates to less loading per cable, helping to better distribute door loads and extend cable life.

Our unique cable lift system creates an offset during lift, preventing the cable from ever “overlapping” or coming into contact with itself (the primary reason for shortened cable life). Our innovative system guides the cables around the driveline like a candy cane. Our cables are not affected by wind and wrap consistently every time.

Lift cables have their first initial stretch upon install. Because of this, they rarely need tensioning. This low maintenance design is preferred to other competitor designs that need tensioning more frequently. When tensioning is required on a Diamond Door, cables can be adjusted at ground level.

OVERVIEW

Our hinge knuckles are cold roll formed. This means each side of the hinge is a solid piece of metal. Compared to hinges assembled with multiple components welded together, our one piece design increases hinge longevity. The more knuckles there are on a hinge, the better the loads are distributed. Each hinge has multiple knuckles, depending on the door size and hinge location.

Steel is prepared in an acid wash bath, which removes any oil and debris before being attached to the door by a certified CWB (Canadian Welding Bureau) welder.

Our exclusive hinge design is completely maintenance free. The hinge bushings eliminate any creaking or screeching, creating a hinge that functions smoothly and quietly without regular greasing.
