Trac-Rite Door Inc., a division of self-storage building designer, manufacturer and erector Trachte Building Systems Inc., has launched two models of Security Guard Doors for self-storage facilities. 944SG and 977SG are designed to provide stronger protection against break-ins and support the growing trend of operators transitioning toward remote management, according to a press release.

Security Guard features a reinforced bottom bar and an optional dual-latch design, which is intended to provide up to three times more resistance to forced entry than standard roll-up doors. These features can be installed on new doors directly at the factory and are compatible with smart locks. Retrofit kits are available for existing Trac-Rite model 944 and 977 doors, according to the release.

“As more facilities operate remotely, the door itself has become the first and most critical line of defense,” said Kellen Anderson, director of sales at Trac-Rite. “The Security Guard Door was designed to stand watch when operators aren’t on site. It’s a cost-effective way to dramatically increase security, protect customer assets and add value to every facility.”
