Flexible Doors for Automatics

GoBuckeyes

Self-Serve and Automatics
Looking for peoples input regarding flexible doors for automatics. Does anyone use Ultimate's Electraflex, Airlift's XRS or Wyndstar's MT (newer than 4-5 yrs old)? If so, what do you like or not like about your particular model. Have you experienced any troublesome issues with them? If you needed another one, would you buy it again or look at another manufacturer? Thanks.
 
We've got 4 of the xrs airlift doors. They've been good doors over the years for us. Sometimes the railings have a tendency on the exit end with the blowers to get ice chunks on them and need to be kept an eye on. But overall solid doors.
 
I've had my Airlift XRS doors for a few seasons now and haven't had any issues with them. What I like about them more than others is, the emergency counterweight pull handles in case of power failure. I would definitely buy them again.
 
+3 on the Airlift Extreme's. going into 3rd season with them and they are excellent. A little bit noisey in the wind but they have been awesome.
 
I had Goff rollup doors, and they were an absolute train wreck through the winter months. Cables and pulleys constantly freezing and breaking, and we had 4 curtain replacements (all covered by Goff) as the stitching between the colored panel and the clear panel would tear loose. We finally had to eliminate the clear panel all together and go with solid red curtains just to avoid the tears from stitching.

Replaced them with Airlift XRS rollups and they are a much better design. No cables, no pulleys, and yes we do get some ice buildup on the brush seal on extremely cold days. I've just ordered 4 more XRS rollups for my other sites.
