Rapid Roll Up Door During a Power Outage: You Need to Pay Attention to the Following Points.

1. Ensure a safe operating environment

Before manually opening the high speed door, clear any obstacles around the door. In a power outage, the door may open more slowly than in normal electric operation, and if objects are blocking the door's opening path, the door may become deformed, damaged, or unable to open properly. For example, check if there are tools, cargo, or other objects on the ground to avoid collisions with them during the door opening process.

At the same time, ensure that the operation site is adequately illuminated. Use a flashlight or other emergency lighting equipment to clearly see the various parts of the door, such as the position of the manual chain, rocker, etc., to prevent accidents such as hand pinching during operation due to unclear vision.

2. Correctly identify the location and operation method of the manual device

for different models and brands of fast action roller doors . Before operation, be sure to find the user manual of speed roller door or contact the manufacturer or installer to understand the specific location and correct operation steps of the manual opening device.

For example, rapid action doors uses a soft polyvinyl chloride wear-resistant coated base cloth, which is filled with tear-resistant fibers. It is soft and tough at the same time. Because the door curtain is soft, the bottom of the door curtain can be directly lifted up during a power outage to facilitate the entry and exit of staff. After passing through, the door curtain can be placed in the track.

It should be noted that after passing through, the door curtain needs to be put back into the track to ensure normal operation the next time it is used.

3. Points to note during operation

If it is a manual chain opening, when pulling the chain by hand or crank, the action should be smooth and slow. Avoid sudden and strong pulling, as this may disrupt the balance of the door, causing the door to derail or the chain to break.

During the manual opening process, pay attention to the movement status of the door at all times.

Observe whether the door can rise smoothly along the track and whether there are any abnormal conditions such as tilting, jamming, etc. If the door is not rising smoothly, do not force it to open. Check whether the track is deformed and whether the pulley is rotating normally.

4. Prevent misoperation

    During a power outage, inform all personnel on site that the door has been opened manually, and remind everyone not to touch the manual opening device or the door itself at will to avoid misoperation that may cause the door to close, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
