Model 501
U.S. door’s legendary Model 501 Roll-Up steel door is the standard of the self-storage industry. Self Storage SystemsThere are more Model 501’s currently in operation than any other competitor’s single roll-up door model.

That’s because the Model 501 has improved and evolved over the years, based on U.S. Door’s decades of self-storage experience.

We understand the Importance of  tough long-lasting finishes, moving parts that require minimal maintenance and doors that are easy to open and easy to close every time.

Model 501 dependability starts with roll formed 26-gauge, 80 ksi steel panels, mechanically seamed together to create a tough and durable curtain. A standard 1” self-lubricating polypropylene wear strip is stapled uniformly to the exterior edges of the curtain and protects against nesting and metal-to-metal contact. The doors are easy to install and mount to wood, masonry or steel jambs, with sizes as large as 10’ (3048 mm) wide by 10’ 93048mm) high and optionally can meet wind loads of up to 140mph.

Designed with standard nylon bushings in the door mounting plates, the Model 501 surpasses all specified factory cycle tests, showing almost no signs of any component wear after more than 100,0000 tested cycles. Designed to last a lifetime, the Model 501 has earned its reputation as the self-storage “Roll-Model”.
