Personnel Doors

Personnel doors are for people rather than vehicles. They can be fire doors, sliding doors, fence gates, or a door in a sectional or roll up door. Frequently Asked Questions What personnel door options does American Door install?
Panic bar exit devices, roll-up door man doors, impact swinging doors, and overhead door man doors — walk-through access built into a larger door or added as a standalone personnel entrance. What is a man door, and why add one to a roll-up or overhead door?
It’s a walk-through door built into a larger roll-up or overhead door, letting people enter and exit without opening the whole bay — useful for maintaining an interior environment while still allowing a full-width opening for deliveries or high-volume foot traffic when needed. How much force does a panic bar exit device withstand?
1,400 pounds of pull force. It’s UL listed, weatherproof, and impact resistant, with an optional 3-hour fire rating, hurricane rating, and exit alarm. What doors can a panic bar be installed on?
Wood, fiberglass, hollow metal, or aluminum personnel doors or gates, whether new or existing. What are impact swinging doors, and where are they used?
Doors that open with less than 1 pound of pressure but are durable enough for foot traffic, pallet jacks, carts, and forklifts. They’re virtually unbreakable and shatterproof, and last longer and are easier to pass through than strip doors. Can a man door be powder coated to match the main door?
Yes, the Roll Up Door Man Door is available in over 200 powder coat color options.
