Central States Manufacturing, a supplier of metal-building components and roofing for self-storage and other industries, has introduced a new roll-up door to its product line. Sentry Model 7500 joins the line of hallway systems and doors, including Model 6500, which the company released earlier this year, according to a press release.

Sentry 7500 meets wind-rating industry standards. The high-carbon, galvanized, steel-alloy springs are coated prior to forming to ensure 100% corrosion protection and don’t require greasing. The 26-gauge, double-seamed curtain is resistant to environmental damage. The door includes additional fastening locations and 12-gauge wind clips to aid in wind-load resistance.

In addition, the stainless-steel latches accept all commercial key locks and padlocks, with an available punch pattern that integrates with various Bluetooth latches in the market, the release stated. The slotted system doesn’t require bolts to affix the door to the guide. The bracket and latch are factory installed, and the hardware is unit packed so it doesn’t require sorting on the job site. The 7500 comes in 32 color options and features an aluminum-extruded bottom bar with bulb astragal to avoid rust.

“We are excited to introduce our new wind-rated door model,” said Andrew Wilson, vice president of innovation. “The Sentry family of products, including the new 7500 roll door, showcases our commitment to innovation and quality. This new line of doors entering the marketplace represents a significant advancement in strength, security and ease of installation. Our customers can expect cutting-edge solutions that meet the highest standards of performance and reliability, ensuring they have access to the best products for their needs, coupled with the high customer-service standards we are known for.”

Founded in 1988, Central States has 1,200 employee-owners and 11 manufacturing facilities, with two factories under construction. It serves 6,000 architectural, commercial and residential contractors and customers nationwide.
