LIFT STRAP
NOW AN ALL-STRAP BIFOLD DOOR
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 Schweiss did away with all the outdated cable-lifts, chains, sprockets and pulleys; strap lift doors now have 90 percent less moving parts.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LIFT STRAPS ARE FASTER AND SAFER THAN OUTDATED CABLE LIFT DOORS
Some manufacturers still continue to try and sell outdated cable-lift bifold doors.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 due to fraying, breaking and overwrapping, but also open much slower, are hard to adjust, are noisier, and not as safe as liftstrap doors.
- SIMPLE DESIGN
- SAFER LIFT STRAPS
- QUIETER OPERATION
- FASTER LIFTING
- NO CLAMPS
- NO PULLEYS
- NO OUTDATED CABLE LIFTS

SCHWEISS REVOLUTIONIZED BIFOLD DOORS WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF PATENTED LIFT STRAPS & AUTOLATCHES
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 asking:
"Can you convert our outdated cable-lift doors to the 'Schweiss liftstraps and autolatches?'"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door you own, you can see the obvious: Schweiss Liftstrap Bifold doors are a safer, faster, and better solution than outdated cable lift doors.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 For years, bifold doors were lifted and lowered by the slow, conventional means of outdated steel cables, that have a tendency to fray, overwrap, and break.

NEW, BETTER, STRONGER HINGE DESIGN
"OUR NEW WRAP-AROUND HINGE DESIGN SETS THE NEW STANDARD FOR HYDRAULIC DOORS"
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.
"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 more durable wrap-around hinge with grease zerks that are accessible without removing the top rubber seal."
