Dallas – Overhead Door Corporation is proud to introduce their landmark RapidSlat™ door system to architects,
facility managers, and business owners across the country. The door system, which combines the best of both
worlds; speed and efficiency, as well as strength and durability, is an advancement of the Rolling Steel line.
Typically, businesses which need both speed and security are forced to utilize two doors, a lightweight yet highly
efficient fabric door and a heavier more durable rolling steel door for security purposes. Operating and
maintaining two doors equates to double the costs and often times lower profits. As an organization, Overhead
Door Corporation saw an opportunity to meet an unmet need in the marketplace. Our revolutionary RapidSlat™
door system offers the convenience of two doors in one and solves this problem for one low price.
Karen Cohen Senior Product Manager for Overhead Door Corporation says, “This unique product offering
eliminates the need for business owners to install two doors to enjoy the combination of speed and security.
RapidSlat™ satisfies the need for the speed provided by a high-performance door without sacrificing the safety
and security provided by a rolling steel door. In addition to offering speed, security, and durability, RapidSlat™
doors are also safe, rugged, and easy-to-operate. Furthermore, when compared to standard rolling steel doors
they can provide increased productivity and maximum energy efficiency. Finally someone has offered customers
a real solution to their dilemma in choosing between speed and security. At Overhead Door we say, Why
Choose?”
RapidSlat™ shares the same general construction of the Rolling Steel line with enhancements and upgrades
