Schweiss Doors is introducing an all-strap bifold door! Straps do the lifting and now straps do the latching too! It doesn't get any better than an all-strap door. The simplicity of the new latch strap is truly amazing! Schweiss did away with all the outdated cable lifts, chains, sprockets and pulleys; strap lift doors now have 90 percent less moving parts. This is a real game changer in the bifold door world! It doesn't get any better than an all-strap door.
Lift Straps are Faster and
Safer than outdated cable
lift Doors
Some manufacturers still continue to try and sell outdated cable lift bifold doors. Cable-lift doors not only require frequent maintenance dur to fraying, breaking and overwrapping, but also open much slower, are hard to adjust, are noisier, and not as safe as liftstrap doors.
"Can you convert our outdated cable-lift doors to the Schweiss liftstraps and autolatches?"
That's a good question! The answer is YES, we sure can! No matter the make, model or manufacturer of the door you own, you can see the obvious: Schweiss Liftstrap Bifold doors are a safter, faster, and better solution than outdated cable lift doors.
Ninety-nine percent of Schweiss bifold door customers are now demanding the stronger, patented polyester lift straps. For years, bifold doors were lifted and lowered by the slow, conventional means of outdated steel cables, that have a tendency to fray, overwrap, and break.
The simplicity of the New
"Strap Latch" is truly amazing!
Schweiss did away with all the cables, chains, sprockets and pulleys;
and it now has 90 percent less moving parts. This is a real game changer
in the bifold door world! Best Bifold Door on the Market !
Advantages of the automatic Strap Latches
This is what every door owner wants and needs.

Introduction of patented lift Straps & Strap Latches
Bifold Doors have been around for years, but thanks to Schweiss Doors foresight, they are 100 times
better now! Calls are coming in from owners of all styles of cable doors wanting to convert to straps.
Hinges can be greased from inside the building
no need to remove the top rubber seal
Schweiss Doors didn't just wrap our head around heavy-duty bifold and hydraulic door hinges, we went a step further and engineered a robust, user-friendly, greasable hinges with a removable hinge pin.
The new hinge design, with grease zerks on every hinge segment enables bifold door owners-whether they be private individulas or commercial customers-to periodically grease their hinges from the underside of the doorframe without having to go through the cumbersome process of first removing the top rubber weather seal.
Schweiss Doors is the only door manufacturer to offer easily accessible greasable door hinges for bifold and hydraulic doors that can be greased from the underside of the door without removing the top weather seal.
• Ability to grease the top hinges without removing the top rubber seal . . . Time Saver!
• Grease points on each and every hinge
• Removable / replacable hing pins Schweiss does not weld in the hinge pins

"There have been hydraulic doors with hinge welds that failed, literally tearing off the doorframe and destroying the door," Schweiss says. "Our design team provided a durable wrap-around hinge with grease zerks that are accessible without removing the top rubber seal."
Strong Doorframe!
Schweiss doorframes are designed with triple push tubes that are tied directly into the wrap-around hinges that connect each vertical push tube directly to the header tube. The advantage of triple push tubes is that forces of hydraulic cylinders are evenly distributed to the doorframe and the wrap-around hinges.
