Report came in late today of Feb 2012 Imagine this another 70 x 20 door failure
New Hype in the Door Market Place . . . " Potentially dangerous door failure "
Now admitting there is really door failures going on with existing hydraulic doors . . . 1st step
What's failing . . . . Hinges falling . . . . Cylinders brackets tearing off / door come crashing down
Optional . . . . Corrective Action
#1 Take door out of service
#2 Recognizing it's extremely important to remove a door with a bad design . . the entire hydraulic door
#3 Identify the existing doors history . . Was it that good of a deal, was it worth it, How safe is your door now
#4 Careful if others come to the " RESCUE " who are they, where did they come from ?
#5 Don't get mad . . . taken in by fluff marketing & price . . . you will know better the 2nd time around
#6 Demand a customer list, years in business, or is it a start up company You have to wonder what happened when a new door company springs to life from the ashes of another company. There was probably a reason the initial company went under and it’s probably not good.
Sign on a Café No Shirt . . No Pants . . No Shoes . . No Service !
Sign on a Factory Short Parts . . Short Credit . . Short Know How . .
Short Workers . .Short Customers . . Gave up and went home !
Nobody should have to pay for this style door design from others . . . . Poor Design Its better to pay to know your not getting one of these doors . . . . ! !
How many doors should a owner have to buy . . . what will a door like this cost again , who pays the 2nd time
Do you think , the end user bought a proto type door . . . if it fails , replace with it with another proto type
Did the door owner really have to buy the same size door again , because the company is no longer, where
did they GO . . .
Who are they . . . Where are they hiding . . . Are they still trying to make doors ! ! !
Some talk about a poor hinge design . . . better talk about cylinders brackets falling off also . . see for your
self hydraulic failures
Sounds like others are lacking in the design room, if it breaks apart , you get to buy another door, you get to pay
again and again .
Know who you are dealing with . . . Look at the door track record . . . Any Failures ?
A Good salesman . . . is all about selling . . . It's to their advantage to sell the same door twice if the first one is
not adequate they are more than happy to to sell a replacement door to you again . . called CASH FLOW
Nobody should have to pay for this style door design from others . . . .
Its better to pay to know your not getting one of these doors . . . . ! !
One size Cylinder Bracket fits all,does all, is the everything bracket . . . . this type of mindset is a nu bee manufacturing practices , How many doors have been under "ingineared" , to have to wonder, worry, wait, when door is wide open and it comes crashing down, 2 simple under designed brackets held up by 2 cylinders never tested before, ONE SIZE DOES ALL . . . can be the cheap way to mfg but by far not the smart way or safe way ! Salesman,dealers,resellers can be putting the customers in a uneasy position, how safe is your door,what is the record history of your door, know who your dealing with , sales personal,company , . . . ask the salesman/company how long have you been doing it wrong and never knew the difference,how long have you been doing it right, And may still not knowing what the correct way is . . . . KNOW WHO YOU ARE DEALING WITH . . . . . WHAT DOES IT COST YOU THE CUSTOMER WHEN YOU SELECT A DOOR COMPANY WITHOUT A TRACK RECORD.
Ask yourself, will anybody be there for me when i need service, are they having door failures,which can be a nightmare,dangerous and to high of a Price to pay . . be safe do your homework, know who your dealing with !
Go To "Hydraulic Failures page" nobody should have to pay for this style door, Its better to pay to know your not getting one of these doors !
Go To "Hydraulic Failures page" and ask your self . . . . " Is this what I'm getting ? ? Hope Not ?? "
Wanted Tugs from the KK . . . . Must withstand unexpected door closure . . . Most be strong built,
with a Roll Cage to protect the operator. must withstand 6000# upon impact . . . willing to pay big bucks !
Send the tug , once we see the tug you'll get the cash, must establish a trust level, we are told to get the
product first, is the safest way to deal ! Need tug soon last one got toasted/ on a fast door !
How long does one remain silent . . . . . Until the paperwork is finalized !
Could be awhile ! ! Enjoy the time off ! ! Keep coming back , to learn more about doors !
Got another concern today from South Texas . . . . . They had the service team check
check it over . . . but unable to find a fix ... Now they are leaning on Schweiss Team
They also were concerned about the Lear Jet . . . Lot of expensive metal passes
under the door in concern , , , How many of these situations are out there !!!
Becareful careful, what seemed like the best deal in town , now has backfired
A door with no service team around . . . And parts breaking off . . . Careful !!
Maybe a old group of friends will soon unite, soon, and figure out a fix for the mess / this time it would be wise to have a inginnear that understands forces on these large doors .
Or maybe best not ! Not many understand large moving doors , just can talk about it ! !
Better off Calling the SCHWEISS TEAM Anybody know of a good used tug for sale..last one took a beating ?
ALERT ALERT ALERT ALERT ANOTHER DOOR FAILURE
Close Call for the tug operator . . . Closing the door is a understatement
. . . . Slamming the door closed is more like it
. . . . It's Self Closing Door , knucklehead design
. . . . Proves - Not just anyone can mfg doors SAFELY
Another Door failure 1-6-12
( This is Not about a Schweiss Door Failure )
Both of the 70 ft door cylinders broke and fell off , door came crashing down , smashing the tug ,damaging the door sheeting, scaring the crap out of the tug operator ( plane was safe ) Schweiss received an emergency call for help, since the original manufacturer is no longer in business, How many other doors will come crashing down , It's important to know who you're dealing with when purchasing large hydraulic doors . . .
Photos will be posted shortly on the . . hydraulic failures page , It's lucky no one was injured,what do you think it will cost to fix it, the down time the fear of will it fail again, who made this door, know who your dealing with, what seems like a good door deal can turn into a nightmare!
Ask the questions How long have you been making doors . . . . it may be 14 years . . . . but ask more
Have you been operating with the same company name for 14 years . . or have you changed your name
lately . . . ? ? ? When did start your company . . . Do you have Products Liability . . . How safe are your doors ?
Are you still learning how to - - - - !!!!! Did the owner of this door pay to much or to little to have this happen ?
Google Door Failures to learn more . . . Will your door be the next to fail / fall . . . Be Careful !!!
If you notice ANY twisting or movement where the piston cylinder attaches to the top of the door's sub-frame, immediately TAKE THE DOOR OUT OF SERVICE and fix the problem.
Or REPLACE the door !
Warning: Don't be fooled by the knucklehead statement below
"Additional workspace by providing a canopy to work under."
This is an accident waiting to happen! Hope the poor manufacturing practices have not given the hydraulic doors a bad reputation, but most importantly we hope that no one WILL BE injured and nothing has been destroyed under the doors! Too late today !
Close Call for the tug operator . . . Closing the door is a understatement
When a door company is no longer in the door business, presents another set of challenges for the
owners of their doors / SERVICE / SERVICE / SERVICE

2011 Reviews
Hottest TOPIC S IN THE DOOR BUSINESS
Year was full of crazy door activity in more ways than one
Door Rumors were floating around to find out most were real
Promises were made and deposits were gone
Hardworking individuals and companies made deposits and were let down
Local Icon Shuts Its' Doors , buildings are empty, workers left without jobs
The year 2011 , brought no service , phones not being answered, customers left hanging on they’re own
Bragging was done to pretend to be the ruler of the market , visit the “ aero lien dead beat list “
Cash was short for some while others had a record year
Salesman . . . . Looking for Jobs
What do I do . . . . Who’s got a job for me
#1 If there’s a hole in the boat, water up to your neck, “ Didn’t have a clue something is going down “ . . . And could not tell the difference !
#2 For certain, I do what I’m told till the END , right or wrong !
Which line best describes strong character , line 1 or line 2 or none of the knuckle head statements !

Verdict is Out .... Remove or Not to Remove
Schweiss Doors are still swinging ..while others have failures , the poor design hydraulic door will be removed shortly, customer has had it with Large Door Failures, Make shift engineering designs with little or no understanding of large swinging door forces can be a real failure. . . because not understanding forces to say the least...just go cheap and brag about how big ,The only thing big about the project ... Big Door Failure . . . Door less than 2 years old , busted up twice, door was flexing and tearing the screws through the door covering, Daah thought the door sheeting keeps the sag out of the door ? ? ...doesn’t take much to tear 24 gauge metal . . . Know who’s building your Door ! Some think they can ! Gone are the Days of Slow Engineering
Note: Photos throughout the site represent doors serviced . . . What a STATEMENT . . . Bet their Busy . . . !
Hard to tell by the photo shop photos which ones had to be serviced . . . . Looks like they all been worked on !
OTHERS ARE OBSESSED with the Best . . . . . . and no direction of there own . . . . . . Keep Checking Back , there are things you just may learn , from the Door Leaders .
THE FIX IT TEAM IS HARD AT IT LOOKING INTO ISO Door Failures . . . . . WHY COMPANY DOOR FAILURES
What happens when others do not understand the door world . . . . . . They must stand back take a break and start all over . . . . Still not understanding the doors can be costly for the customers . . . It's better to find out how long anyone company has been doing business as a door company .. Many have tried and failed. . . . Be careful
Others are trying to build doors in Photo Shop . . . . . . Safer That Way . . . . . Read On about more bad findings
The metals inspector is still on site at this time. He has confirmed that the steel is only 1/4" thick which is terrible. He has also confirmed a crack and tears in the header beam. He also said that about half of the welds on the remaing hinges were bad and need to be addressed. He is now inpspecting the second hangar door and hinges and will submit a report on his findings which I will forward to you. This is a Broken door with a broken web site.
Go team . . . . Now Building Large door failures . . . . . Where did they come from. . . How Big Do you Go . . . . . ?
Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning Broken Door Hinges . . . . . . Not a " schweiss " Door
See for your self the broken door is not doing very well...on the front line of the hangar ... un operable
clearly under designed ... Others are invited in to see the mess, the poor customer is experiencing
What a way to advertise a under designed product, when the hinges come tearing off for the 2nd time sends a message mr engineers needs alittle more schooling , this is more than a door , its a non functional door that needs serious repair, revolutionizing the door industry on the serious side of things how dangerous a door can be without proper engineering, When small start up companies are willing to try anything with no experience to back up them up, you may end up with broken metal all over the place and your plane sits on the ramp , now you end up with a bad billboard, of poor advertising. It’s one thing to have failure, but not knowing the fix is another problem,
After 2nd attempt to bring a new door back to life is really sad to see and this costing the owner $$ in down time and no fix in site...Question is what went wrong, maybe it started out by purchasing the door by going off of fancy words and literature..... That doesn’t cut it these days...you need to understand these large moving walls .... Customers ask these questions... With all your past experience , was it a good experience, did you even learn anything , or do you know it all...talk about door failures, what makes you think you can build a large door, a safe door, where will you be when it falls apart, lets talk heavy on this subject, ask the parties , do you leave the party when things fall apart....where is my back up gonna be, show me your track record, this is a mouthful, or is everyone else at fault...when you hear these words ..... Caution.. stop back up and think about what you have just heard... Its nice to see when someone is trying , but in the business world when your jet is stuck on the ramp and the many thousand dollar door is broken, trying doesn’t cut it, you are always safer dealing with real people with real experiences and are there for you 24/7! My question how many of these door will be taken out of service, because the hinges are breaking apart, How many engineers designed the first set of hinges or the 2nd set of hinges, both failed, maybe the door is meant to be self supporting and the hinges donot do that much, what a theory . When you think you know it all, that’s the 1st mistake, when something fails its others who screwed up, 2nd mistake, when you think you can build a large door can be the 3rd mistake, we never want to take this position.. One door at a time,,, over 30 years of door experience.. Schweiss never runs from the Job, no job is to big or small, Look for quality look for price you’ll buy Schweiss Schweiss Team was called in , after others tried , and failed . . . . and the phone still rings and nobody is home.

If They Hadn't Helped Out
When a Salesman helps himself out ...
Do you think it is possible that a salesman could sell the same door twice ?
First time get the deposit and not able to deliver the door.... this has been done !
Go to the auction... pick up those same doors ... and be the hero ... and resell the door again.
Almost like the used car dealer, keep finding new buyers ... what a neat way to raise cash
Takes a special salesman to pull this off.... If the doors could talk , they each would have a sad story to tell .. ! Watch Out Who's Helping You !
Marketing Fluff

E-Mail Blast ....
Dear Phil,
As you may already know, I am no longer with those guys and have accepted a new position doing the same old thing. I wanted to be sure you had my new contact information.
I just happen to have all the old contacts memorized, because the big e-mail list is property of others...little sneaky, never paid a dime for the list, but we are busy trying all over again, We never seen it coming, but you must understand we did what we had to , because it was our job! Some of customers never got the door they put a deposit on, hope your not one of them !
I hope this letter finds you well, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
Trying all over again . . . . . . Same Talent
P.S. How to obtain a customer list in such a short time... Something does not add up !
Got our new hydraulic door and are installing it now. Thanks very much. Just though I would drop you a note, I got an E-Mail from the salesman that sold me the door that never showed up and that they kept my $18,000+ deposit.
He is no longer with them and has accepted a new position with a new start up company.
I have never heard of them.
I don't know if these guys are legit or what?
Just thought I would give you a heads up.
Thanks Brian
back at it: looking like new, Sometimes those new owners walked away from another company so you might have a new name, but it’s actually the same talent. Consider this: are the new boys on the block really bringing fresh, new ideas to the table, or is this “new” company just a poor
copy of the company they left behind?
Slightly tainted Show Trailer.. its Gotta Go
Will sell cheap if these terms are met when in use
No cheap deals can be made around this trailer
Do not con people for a deposit
Must deliver product once ordered
No rinky dink sales tactics like " Specials "

Sales personal must be be retrained ... up to Schweiss Standards
Note : Expected life span of this trailer is about 4 years !
Make an offer... before we convert it to scrap metal !
Wanna Bee's
Pretending to not know what was going on .... Just keep taking orders ... you have learned from who,
Con no more about what it takes...are you trying to ride off a company that had a little bad luck...to say the least... or is it the reason the company had some bad luck and now trying... to make the BIG BUCKS Every Day your gonna have to talk about how little you knew, sold your self short to keep a paycheck, but asking for money.. how can we help YOU ... How can we take you ) Same style door same people... Run... how fast and hang on to your deposit money !
If the decision of having a job or having my integrity ever present itself, I hope I am man enough to keep my integrity. You did not. Roger wrote
Insanity Defined: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
When they play that innocent, are they capable of repeating the same old stories again, how can the same people, know how to do it better the next time around, sounds like they want to wash their hands of any mistakes and blame everyone else !
When not keen enough the first time, what do you expect the 2nd time... same people on the phone ! Now soliciting the old Brand x customers.... or is it the same brand x with a new name trying to con people for more deposit and not able to deliver the product on time, this is really scary, poor me american made, engineered ,designed all within a few weeks, who wants to trust this product,or is it even possible to come up with a new design in that short of time by the same people.. You wouldn't think anyone would use the same old design C- Channels. Or maybe being the good guys it's all about fixing and servicing door failures that are out there, now thats story is understandable ! New hype is on the horizon, people who care, have control,all about american..... the only thing that did not change ... Same People..... !!!
Everybody wants stability in a company .. long lasting business relationship with good door service !!
Who takes on the door liability & warranty every time a company changes hand or goes out of business, what does this mean to the
end user of the door... its not my responsibility, it was before my time, No its the other company they owned it back then, sorry , it's
not our baby ! But we are willing to help you , but we are gonna have to charge $$ for our service, since you have no warranty since your existing company is NO Longer !
Caution : When a company has had many different owners over the years.... What's that telling YOU
5-5-11 Bad Luck Show Trailer For Sale : Not responsible if bad luck follows the trailer ! Make a reasonable offer!
Just open the doors , collect the money , Hold off on delivery..... and it turns revenue, a real money maker
$$$
Others are trying again, same talent, just a new twist, how many have tried at this same venture !
How Important is "Price"
Price is a one time up front charge....
Going cheap can haunt you years to come
Going cheap has caused others . . . to lose deposits
Going cheap has caused others . . . door failures
Going cheap has caused others . . . door cylinders to fail
Going cheap has caused others . . . no door service
Going cheap has caused others . . . to lose any chance of warranty
Going cheap has caused others . . . to be stuck with a cheap C-channel door frame
Going cheap has caused others . . . to have a Door with no swing
With price you expect the best safe product on the market today!
With price you expect the door company to be around for years to come!
When looking for quality ..... Do not buy cheap !
Experience the Schweiss Quality .......Buy Schweiss Doors !!!

I can only imagine what faces people who are trying to sell their hangar home, thinking I'm stuck with this door...what do I do... List the property explain it has a huge door..keep the Brand name hush hush so it will not hinder the entire sale because the door is the most important part of the building structure and the door company has gone south on everyone... I'm sure they would not say to the buyer... "beware"... the door on this property if it ever has problems ...I want you to know upfront the original manufacture...is no longer...what a sales pitch, hope it does not botch the sale ... Wow... beware when others pitch the old sale stories, we are the best, were the largest...when you here these words from any salesman... Run and How Fast.... Do a simple easy Check, ask how many previous owners tried to make this same brand door company the largest ... thinking it would overtake the entire door market ..here's the scary part try to find out how many individuals tried to get this company going and sooner or later they dumped the company... At last found someone who thought could make a difference or could actually do something with this company..to find out the thought of a opportunity... turned out to be a not so good of a deal... Ask your self why would anyone dump the company, not to many successful business's sell a company for pennies on a dollar... maybe it was all it was worth... Another way to make money is to collect the down payment and delay the delivery...some thought this would work !
Something to consider before listing your property... remove the existing door... reinstall a quality door... that is supplied by a company that is manufacturing,servicing and take new orders everyday. Schweiss Hangar Doors will enhance your sale !

If a company you depend on for your commercial door needs disappears, you could be left with a lot of unanswered questions. What does this mean for my door? Who do I turn to now for repairs? My door is a very important part of my shop or hangar - will this unexpected situation hurt my real estate values?
You might be thinking: what good is a door if the brand name is now tarnished? When your bifold and/or hydraulic door provider goes under, you’re the one who gets sold short. You’re left with no service, no replacement parts and no one to walk you through important service issues. Think about it: what if something really goes wrong? A working bifold or hydraulic door is an absolute must for a properly functioning commercial building; you must trust your door!
Do Your Homework
Really! When you’re looking to purchase a hydraulic or bifold door, you should always look into the door company’s reputation, longevity and experience. Without a good reputation and a solid history, what are you left with? Not a thing – and definitely no one to rely on! It’s scary when you have no backup for such a large, important component of your building! Price is one thing and quality is important, of course - but no warranty? Now there’s an awful thought!
Imagine getting ready to fly and your hangar door just won’t budge! You and your plane aren’t going anywhere. You run to the phone for some helpful customer service, only to find that the door company you rely on is no longer in business!
When you’re tempted by the cheapest option on the market, think about it first – because you really do get what you pay for! Without available service, you’re really in a tough spot. Those problems will keep multiplying. Without that warranty, you’re left calling around to find a reputable repairman. It’s highly likely that repair company will ask you the name of the door manufacturer – and once they find out the door company is no longer in business, they might just run from the mess, leaving you back at square one! In today’s lawsuit-abundant world, a decent repair company isn’t going to run out and assume the liability when the slightest thing goes wrong! In the real world, when that original door manufacturer is nowhere to be found, the last person to touch that door could be liable for negligence – and any good repair company knows this!
Here’s the thing: you’re not only buying the door, you’re buying the odds that the company will stick around for the long haul, ready to service your moving door when you need it most!
At Schweiss Doors, we ARE in it for the long haul. We’ve been around over 30 years and we’re not going anywhere! We’re available to service the hell out of your door and we’ll always be here when you need us.
Sometimes the topic of warranty seems trivial, but at Schweiss Doors, we know there’s much more to a door sale than just the sale itself! When you purchase a hydraulic or bifold door from Schweiss, you’re just beginning a lasting relationship with our company. We provide ongoing service – and that’s the Schweiss Advantage!
Imagine calling your car company only to find out nobody’s home - the entire company was dissolved! “Sorry baby, you’re on your own!” No one wants to hear those words! At Schweiss,
we know warranty is huge! Warranty is everything! A warranty without the original company behind it means absolutely nothing.
Warranty is worth it,it's everything, and you need a door company who will carry you through any service issues that may come up! At Schweiss Doors, we’re here to help! We have a proven track record of excellent warranty servicing and fantastic customer care.
Just remember this: sure, that door you rely on so much moves great today - but just knowing that, should something ever go wrong, Schweiss Doors will back you up – now that’s real piece of mind! You shouldn’t have to experience that lonely, scary feeling when your door company goes out of business – at Schweiss, we’re always here for your commercial door warranty needs. Always.

Those Days are Gone .... It' Over
Little did they know... how little they knew
the writing was on the wall
You don't keep taking deposits without delivering on time
In the door world good news travels fast, bad news even travels faster
Hands down have been out Marketed,by a sales team that knows their product even Better
Out sold, by a product that sells it's self and a Company thats able to deliver
It doesn't take much to sell a cheap door, but it takes a lot to build,design and deliver the best door,
Schweiss Does it Better
There's a difference if you think you're the best..or you're the best
Young boys run hard and fast and retire early ,experienced boys can see further and are less likely to run out of gas,it requires door stamina to compete day after day and must be capable of delivering, and with a better product also.
When your up against a superior door design like "Hydro Power" it's hard to compete and better yet if your unable to deliver that's not even called a competitor
In the Door World....Schweiss Does it Better
Post... 3 - 3 - 11 Day to Remember ..... Another Chapter in the door World
What was I thinking
_____ When the price sounded to good to pass up
_____ When the new style door was mfg lighter
_____ Handing out 50% deposit to anyone
_____ Believing the delayed deliver dates
_____ Paying for the door in full to speed up delivery
_____ When my phone calls were not returned
_____ When Doors are delivered less cylinders
_____ When I thought this could not be happening to me
_____ When newspapers start reporting...bloggers bloggen
_____ When I found out I was not alone .. more are coming forward
Look into the Future ...
_____ Will I ever get my door
_____ Will I ever get my deposit back
_____ Will I have on going service / parts
_____ What does this do to my warranty
_____ Will it affect the resale of my hangar
_____ Who do I turn to for support
_____ If any door failures ... What do I do then

Schweiss Expansions Keep Happening
Schweiss Doors, announces a 2011 construction date for a huge, 27,000 sq. ft. facility
geared exclusively to the manufacture of the newest product in the Schweiss line up:
Hydro-Powered doors by Schweiss.
"Customer demand is driving this big expansion"
Our new "Hydro-Powered Doors" are catching on big time with contractors, builders, and airport
managers across the country," relates Schweiss Doors, With over 30 years in the door business,
the popular Schweiss Doors has long been acknowledged as #1 with pilots and aviators across
America. Now the new Schweiss Hydro-Power Door is also ramping up as a powerful choice. The ONLY
door manufacturer in America giving you choice...SCHWEISS DOORS.
OPENING NEW DOORS EVERYDAY
Some companies are fast to take your money...But slow to deliver your door
Their are companies out there taking your money and not delivering on time
Because they are waiting on cylinders
- When any door supplier experiences hard times, disappears or goes bust, this can leave you and your building in a bad position, especially if you rely on the door to close in your opening for the cold days ahead.
- While this is sad for the door customer, it will also be a problem for the building they leave behind without a door. They will eventually have to find a door supplier that can get the job done without all the headaches... So be smart and protect yourself... from a potential loss by paying too much money down at the time of sale!
And not deliver your door in a timely manner!
Limit the amount of door deposit to 25%
You'll be saving 25% if things do not work out!
Have him put it in writing !!!!
Smooth Salesman squirms when asked the BIG QUESTION!
Start out by asking which door are you're pricing me...the CHEAP door or the GOOD door. Yes they will tell you the door is rated for 90 mph. Yes the price will be inviting, then you know you are being setup for the CHEAP DOOR. Have them explain the door member sizes to you....Ask the big question are any of the "Vertical door frame members a formed C-Channel". Yes they will tell you all the good things about the door. Push on further, ask them is there is a BETTER DOOR THEY ARE OFFERING FOR MOR MONEY! Have them explain the difference between their good door and cheap door. You'll be very disappointed if someone sells a door to you with C-Channels and Tek screws.
Smooth Salesman skirts around the topic of the SPLICE CONNECTION on a door split for shipping.
Ask the salesman to go into detail about how the door is put back together once the door is delivered to the Job site. A nice fluffy way to answer your questions is to say we USE THE PPROPER CONNECTIONS to with stand a 90 mph wind load. Ask if the connections can withstand the vertical door members twisting. What SIZE BOLTS do you use...or do you use self drillers. A Cheap Door has self drilling Tek screws to assemble the door back together, the good door has 5/8 bolts that go through the splice connections plates on each and every vertical door member. The Cheap Door uses self drillers that may work loose over time, NOW IS THIS A SAFE DOOR!
Smooth Salesman tells the customer what he wants to hear
When you ask what size are the splice connections bolts, you may be told the PROPER SIZE but when the door arrives and those little self-drilling Tec screws are laying in the box. You could never imagine those small self drilling screws are to hold the vertical door members together, that's when you know someone slipped you the Cheap Door..oops
Smooth Salesman's job is to get it sold......Do what it takes..to get another sale.
When a customer asks the price of a door they start out with the inviting prices, sugar coat the sale and inform you this price is good for the 90 mph.... If you let them ramble on and on they may forget to tell you about the heavier door that will cost you almost 40% MORE (Maybe because they are hard to sell at those prices), AND KNOWING THAT PRICE SELLS, he will have you convinced in no time flat ....until the door arrives with C-Channels and small self drilling tec screws. You'll have to say to yourself ....he got me!!!
Smooth Salesman can make you feel there's nothing BETTER!
You would think if your manufacturing two doors a CHEAP and a heavier door, a honest salesman would bring all strong points to the customer up front in the conversation, bragging about about both doors, but when your SELLING PRICE ONLY I guess it's better not talk about the Other door since it may cost him a sale because it's OVER PRICED. And the customer GETS STUCK WITH A INFERIOR DOOR and if they had known they would gladly pay a fair price...for a door that will not be twisting and giving in the wind !
Best of the Best..... Smooth Salesman can get you to believe anything!
When you start asking those hard questions like what are the door size members, they will find the largest door member and give you that size (sometimes). Do not forget what you are wanting to know is the SIZE AND TYPE OF THE VERTICLE MEMBERS on the moving door frame. Here again they will answer your question naming some sort of tubing, because he knows that is what you want to hear, but back him in the corner and flat out ASK will this door have C-channels for the vertical door members. Don't ask the gauge of the C-Channels that would only DISSAPOINT YOU EVEN MORE trust me a good salesman wants to tell you all the right answer to get the sale...To be safe have him take a snap shot and e-mail you a photo of the exact question your asking....Then wait for the delivery and make sure they have not got the photo's mixed up and sent you the CHEAP DOOR. P.S. Do Not SETTLE FOR FANCY SALES LITERATURE ...Demand a digital color photo !!
When a Smooth Salesman believes his own STORIES.
They are driven, have a goal, and get to practice their lingo often through out the day!
Soon they begin to believe their own stories, that's when the customers is at the most risk to
be misled. When a salesman starts telling you the most important members of the door are
the members on each side of the doorway. No Need to worry about the CHEAP vertical C-Channels
throughout the center of the moving door frame...Because they are covered with sheeting to add
extra support and it all ties together...What he has just explained, you may be getting an
Erector Set Door. Put together with small tek screws, that over time may easily work loose
and you'll never know until there is a door failure. And the ONLY WAY TO INSPECT THE SCREWS
IS TO REMOVE THE DOOR SHEETING...now this is not worth it, wrong place to cut corners and
manufacture a door that is not tested or proven! When buying a door held together with tek
screws, you might end up having to buy another door down the road before long. WAS that such a good Deal!
P.S. Some companies put in writing you MUST HAVE 26 ga metal on your door...to help hold
it together! If you use standard 29 ga pole barn sheeting sounds like the door structure
may not be built strong enough to hold up in those big winds!
When a Smooth Salesman sells you the new improved model light weight door at great prices!
Imagine you have been buying doors from a salesman for years and failed to clarify that somebody had a brainstorm to reinvent the wheel and had big dreams to over take the door industry...little did they know a customers gets into a routine and now BEEN SWITCHED TO A LOWER QAULITY PRODUCT, by using C-Channels. AND THE WORST PART YOU WERE NEVER REALLY TOLD WHAT MAKES UP THE CHEAP DOOR! CUSTOMERS KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE when they see it!
When a Smooth Salesman may be slipping the customer a lighter weight door..
SOME GIVE THE door a fancy name using Acronyms to explain the door BUT REALLY SKIRTING THE BIG QUESTION... WHATS THE MOVING DOOR STRUCTURE FRAME MADE OF !!!
When a Smooth Salesman gives you a shipping date
He will tell you a shipping date , it all depends when you send in your 50 % deposit, that's when your time clock starts ticking for you....maybe not him....your delivery date can be held up because the door parts from the supplier have not arrived yet? well when are you expecting them....nobody knows... at the present we are still taking orders but are shut down for 2 weeks during our busy season and some time we send people home because.....the supply trucks are not coming this week.... your door is manufactured, we can ship the door...and at a later date send all the cylinders or pumps to run the door...how would this work out for you ??? You must realize you may have ordered a cheaper door and now getting cheap service...it doesn't surprise you DOES IT. When a good loyal salesman keeps taking orders knowing this may be happening day after day..... What's this door worth to you ???
A Wise Man Said:
It's unwise to pay too much but it's unwise to pay too little.
When you pay too much you lose a little money, that is all.
When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything,
The common law of business balance prohibits Paying a little
and getting a lot. "It can't be done."
Smooth Salesman Are tricking the customers on freight rates!
Not only are the freight rates higher, careful some have language in the contract, and have the right to raise the freight rate at any time, so be careful...but in addition they may also charge the customer to split the door for shipping on another line item.... Do the math....be careful! Read your paperwork.....WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GOOD DEAL ... MAY NOT BE COSTING ALOT MORE!
Smooth Salesman finishes the sale and NOW THE RUN AROUND BEGINS!
Your deposit hits his bank and from then on all calls will be handled by the nice voice on the end of the phone, claiming everyone is in a meeting, they will call you back shortly. He no longer works here, sir I have no answers for you at this time. EVERYTHING HAD BEEN GOING GREAT UNTIL NOW ...... Something is wrong here with this business style. Can I speak to the owner?? Can I get my money back! Winter is near and I need my door you promised me 3 months ago, all my GOOD customers are begging for the door I promised. THIS MAKES ME LOOK LIKE THE BAD GUY ... Door arrives sometime later to find out.....I have the C-Channel Door ouch! And the salesman is not available!
IT SHOULD NOT BE THIS DIFFICULT TO PURCAHSE A HYDRAULIC DOOR OTHER'S MAY BE GIVING THE HYDRAULIC DOORS A BAD NAME
BUY SCHWEISS DOORS........NOBODY DOES IT BETTER

Denver Door Failure
Schweiss Doors was Invited as a DOOR EXPERT
to inspect a Hydraulic Door failure...
"Lets be clear" this was Not a Schweiss Door.
The upset owner called the Schweiss Team in...
to inspect the 76 x 22 clear Hydraulic door failure.
Once we arrived at the hangar we were greeted by a team of forensic metal experts. hydraulic cylinder experts and a architectural firm R.A, structural and mechanical experts and of course the owner who was flipping the bill for this mess, The owner of the door was serious about getting a fix on his door that has failed for the 3rd time. We all were told this is a costly meeting and we need a solution for the door problem.
Door was roughly 3 years old and has failed...3 times!
The building tenants were unable to use the door and all the aircraft had been moved to another location... Also the tenants stop making rent payments until a solution is found for the door problem! Loss of income ...cost of renting another hangar and the moving of all service equipment is going to not only cost someone big money but it was a real hardship on the users of the huge door.
Original door Manufacturer had to deliver...the bad news
After the door factory sent out a fix it truck... twice were unable to repair their own door failure nor were able to offer a solution.....Next step they told the owner they would have a engineer run all the numbers on this door, trying to get to the bottom of this huge door failure..... and 6 weeks later the owner was informed its not their problem......Imagine waiting 6 weeks for a fix to get the BAD NEWS ....It's NOT Our Problem !!
EXPERTS .... Found the WEAK SPOTS
It was interesting watch the experts go to work, they tore the door apart from top to bottom and had some strong opinions and could easily see the weak points in the door and all were going back to their office to run the numbers on the metal members to give the owner a expert report....Those Reports are COSTING somebody big Money...which should have been addressed by the Door Manufacturer right away!
DO YOUR HOMEWORK...UNLIKE "OTHERS"
Engineers and building and door manufactures THAT HAVE DONE THEIR HOMEWORK are finding out the forces on a hydraulic door are much different than a bifold door! Schweiss has done their homework...view our " New " Spec Sheets that comes with each door.
When a Door Company Tells you the door is self supporting...
YOUR DOOR WILL FAIL NEXT!!!
You Must Understand...All Hydraulic Doors ...Attach to the Building Structure It is important to understand all hydraulic doors come with a sub-frame and the top cylinder bracket attaches to the doors sub-frame, ( this keeps breaking...why ) and the sub frame attaches and supported to the buildings door column, which may be twisting and or not braced properly
Here is How They tried...Fixing the door
Welded a couple pieces of metal no thicker than 3/8 inch plate and welded it to the building column and the door sub frame cylinder bracket.... it kept breaking ...so they kept rewelding it .... and were unable to Fix their OWN DOOR !
Cylinder Brackets at the very top of the door broke OFF....
GUESS What kept....the cylinders from falling!!!
The hydraulic hoses held the heavy 12 foot long cylinders from crashing to the ground. But they FIGURED OUT a FAIL SAFE LOG CHAIN. The purpose of the log chain was to keep the cylinders from crashing down to the ground and hitting someone in the Head. Did this come from the engineering dept ...??
Questions all the experts Had?
Since the door fell and twisted in the opening, can we trust the cylinders! Is the Door frame twisted and what effect does it have on the hinges! Why does the door go up uneven now since the door failed for the 2nd time!
What Schweiss has to Say
If your gonna build a door, you must be able to fix your own door, or at least help the customer though the mess he is in...Never Run from the Problems.....This sends a Negative Message about HOW OTHERS...
CONDUCT BUSINESS..... HATE TO BE IN THE ROOM WHEN THIS ALL GETS SETTLED!
The Renters.... are Not Happy
When I was greeted at the door ...the first thing I was asked, can we get one of your doors!
Schweiss Doors makes the Difference
Schweiss doors brings quality and care about your future of having a long lasting, depend able product,
we do not manufacture junk! Taking metal out of all the wrong places, on a powerful moving door is not
a right way to cut cost it only decrease the doors safety factors for the end users of the door, customers
want a safe door! SCHWEISS DOES THAT!
Brand x's Had to lighten their door design in today's market
Started manufacturing a lighter weight doors ....by taking metal away from the door frame which makes the
door frame weak and unsafe. Just to make a Sale!
Formed C Channels for the Vertical Members
Brand X's
Now have replaced the vertical tubes with a light gauge C channel of the same overall dimension. That has less resistance and will not stand up to the fatigue of a moving door frame. This is not the place to try save $$ on metal and sacrifice the door quality
Schweiss Doors
2" x 4" heavy gauge tube for each and every vertical upright. Square tubing in it's self is much stronger than any formed C-Channel
Splicing Connections
Brand x's
Is trying to save money by using self drilling screws to connect both door frames together, all hydraulic doors are split for shipping, the door comes in 2 sections This type of connection is cheezy and a very poor design. Tek Screws twist and pull out over time and easy to misalign and cost the customer more time to install.
Schweiss Doors
Schweiss uses a 5/8" Bolted connections ...factory assembled to ensure no misalignment and do the drilling and precise work at our factory. Designed connections by a structural engineer to ensure a safe connection. We use bolts because you can be sure that you have put them all in more easily and they are less likely to be miss-located and you don't have to worry about pull-out or tilting as critically as you do with screws.
Hydraulic moving doors, are flexing unlike a permanent wall in a building, so with that being said those cheap splice connections will fail, poor choice for any door manufacture to try cutting cost to compete and they are potentially setting you up as a customer for a door failure. But when you go for Price alone you lose quality, it's obvious, read the chart and see the photo's below.
Schweiss Hydro-Power Doors
Compare the Photos Below and See the Difference!
Schweiss Upright Door Member Brand X Upright Door Member
Installing your door at the job site
Schweiss Doors
Taking metal out of all the wrong places, on a powerful moving door is
not a right way to cut cost it only decrease the doors safety factors
for the end users of the door, customers want a safe door!
What Schweiss does in the factory, we start the quality control by
pre drilling the doors vertical members, pre assemble each and every
vertical door member using heavy steel plates with 5/8" thick through
bolts for a safe connection - The doors are welded together with all
the vertical members welded into position on each door...When door is
ready to ship we prepare the door for shipping by removing the bolts
and load the door. Customer receives the door mate's the 2 door halves
togethers and inserts the 5/8" thick through bolts...Door is built a a
complete unit, all the alignment is done at the factory for a perfect
straight door frame...Saves installation time
Here's the others ( Not Schweiss )build the top half and bottom half
ship the doors to the customer now where the work begins for the
installers/customers get out the screw gun to install the Tec Screws into
the vertical door members. Now its your responsibility to make sure both
sections line up, its tricky process. Here's another example where someone
is trying to cut corners at your expense more install labor, unsafe
connection into a C-channel vertical door member. Again Tec screws should
not be used on a moving door frame...this is not a wise engineering decision.
They saved themselves money not the customer, and a flimsy door frame member
which makes a lighter door.
P.S. Call Schweiss ...Look for Quality, Look for Price , You'll Buy Schweiss
How Will the Customer Ever Know if the door is Safe
Brand X's
Here's a Check List to start with:
Tek Screws
• Are the tec screw holes elongated, broken off, in crooked
• When the tec screws were installed -- does the top half of the door and the bottom half of the
door line up with each other, since it was not done in the factory
C Channels Check List
• Check that the light gauge members have not twisted, tore away from the structure
• Check the welds at the connection points -- top and bottom Its tough to weld light gauge
members, also deflection may crack the metal over time!
• Are the vertical door members bending, moving,bowing did you know C channels are not as
strong as square tubing
• Check the light gauge Splice connections
• Check these often .. if the door is sheeted remove sheeting and inspect
Schweiss Doors
Schweiss has been doing doors for over 30 years unlike others. You
may have to use some good engineering judgment no matter what the
other door suppliers are telling you, just to make a quick sale.
Schweiss continues to do their homework, that's how we stay the Number
#1 door manufacturer!
Tek Screws
Brand x's
"Never" use tek screws on a moving door frame ...golden rule #1 hydraulic
moving doors, are flexing unlike a permanent wall in a building, so with
that being said those cheap splice connections will fail, poor choice for
any door manufacture to try cutting cost to compete and they are potentially
setting you up as a customer for a failure .... Scary Thought!
Schweiss Doors
Hydraulic doors provide more strength, use powerful cylinders to raise and
lower the door frames. The hydraulic cylinders exert considerable forces and
torsion to the moving door frames.With that being said Schweiss promises each
and every customer we will never use a small tek screw to hold the main
structural members of a moving door frame together with "Tec Screws" It's a
disaster waiting to happen.
P.S. Screws are OK to use: only to apply sheeting and trims on your hydraulic door ..only!

Tell you your getting the best door on the market! Cheap C-channel frame & splice connection... using small Tek screws. Hydraulic doors manufactured like this ... should not be allowed! |
Brand X's: |
Are slipping the customer a light weight door..Just to Cut Costs! That's scary when others are using a C-Channel light weight frame. Check it out! A large moving one piece door frame is no place to sacrifice quality. Schweiss uses a 2x4 rectangular tube, with bolted connections. |

Brand X's: |
Say they have bolted connections for easy assembly! What they forget to tell you ...all the bolted connections must be field welded. Why would any one provide bolted connections that also have to be field welded. Seems like the engineering department made a mistake again. |
Brand X's: |
With marketing hype and prices! Here's how it usually goes, good door price, lower quality door using c-channels and small tek screws for the splice connections, with high freight rates. Now it's not such a good deal! Top things off by getting shoved a cheaper style door, when you thought it was the Best, and the door design has changed.... Who loses? |
Brand X's: |
Claim to have no competition....!!! We agree we have heard this before,. They're in a league of their own when they ...........start sacrificing strength, removing steel using tek screws in the splice connections. Allowing the use of "restrictors" in each of the cylinders ..if a hydraulic line would break ...The Door is Coming Down .. Old School system,, Very Unsafe .. Schweiss has a Velocity Fuse on each Cylinder, so the doors CANNOT ever go down and close by themselves, If a hose or tube are broken, doors will stop immediately. Safety Built In! Schweiss is better than that ! Over 30 years in the door business to prove it ! |
