Commercial Door Components and Design

Every Diamond Door starts out as a steel frame, made of HSS tubular steel. Our commercial bifold door lift system consists of an electric lift motor, industrial grade gearbox, and high quality cables, creating a reliable electric lift bifold door. Since each door is made to project, you can choose the features and options best suited for your building.

Below are some common combinations of features and options.

The door is pre-wired and finish painted. This minimizes the time required to attach the door to your building, unlike many competitors who ship their doors as kits to be assembled onsite.
