Central States Manufacturing Inc., a supplier of metal-building components and roofing for self-storage and other industries, has added new products to its recently launched Sentry line of roll-up doors and hallway systems. The company’s faux, locker and swing doors are now in production and available from local, regional and national distributors, according to a press release.

“We are rapidly growing our Sentry line to give our customers the full storage offering they need for their projects,” said Andrew Wilson, vice president of innovation. “With the addition of swing and locker doors, customers now have solutions for their storage projects with minimal or obstructed headroom.”

The locker and swing doors feature lock compatibility with the same stainless-steel latch found on other Sentry roll-up door models. Because they don’t need extra side or head room, they can fit in tighter spaces where traditional roll-up doors can’t, such as storage closets or mechanical rooms. They contain a heavy-duty X bracing on the back for durability, and the hinges enable the door to open 180 degrees. All of the doors are available in the same color palette as the Sentry 6500 and 7500 models.
