Straps Are Faster

These words explain the beauty and safety of the Schweiss Lift Straps when used in raising and lowering a bifold door... Smooth, quiet and trouble free!

Lift Straps... “Set It And Forget It”

#1 Thing to Avoid

Lift Cables

“Fine braid wire rope tends to break over time.”

“Cable tension is hard to maintain.”

Cables

Cables wear out!
Cables fray!
Cables overwrap!
Cables are slower!
Cables are noisier!
Cables require more maintenance!
Cables are hard to adjust!
Cables are rated for only 7,200lbs!

Cables Are Outdated

Cable doors are slow and take forever to open!

Strap Conversions

Out With The Old, In With The New

What Strap Conversion
Customers Are Saying:

“Why would anyone even consider outdated, slow
cable doors today. I wish straps were available
when I purchased mine!”
“I still like bifold doors. Now with the straps and
auto-latches, they're even better!”
“Nobody will sell me another cable door!”
“The strap conversion made my door better than new!”
“What anice improvement to an older door!”
“Straps and auto latches, what a great improvement!”
“You guys are good, thanks for th eneat invention!”
“Should have done the strap conversion years ago!”
“If anyone asks, send'em my way and I'll be your
salesman. I love my door now!”

Cable Bifold Door
Owners Are Asking:

“It's not your bifold door. Can I buy just the ‘Lift
Straps’ and convert my door over to the straps?”
“Can you convert my door over to straps?”
“My doorframe is good but I'm tired of changing out
cables every couple of months!”
“Will your straps work on my door, it's another brand?”
“I was at the neighbors hangar and saw how smooth
and fast a Schweiss Door operates. Can you help me?”
“My door is not that old but I hate my outdated cables.
Can you convert my door to straps and autolatches?”
“I see your strap doors are much faster than my
outdated cable door. What's it gonna cost me?”
“I was trying to save money by going with cables.
Boy, what a mistake!”
