The Most Common Mistake
It is tempting. You want to make sure the door does what you want it to do. So you select a strip door with too heavy or wide a strip for your application. The result is a strip door that is harder to use and you are eventually dissatisfied with the product.

Strip doors are available in many widths, thicknesses and colors. Our strip doors feature the exclusive Simplex clear/frost non-stick design for easy personnel and equipment passage.
In smaller doors, use smaller strips which are easier to pass through. As the door gets taller, you can increase the width of the strip and still maintain easy passage. Taller doors typically require more overlap for better air block. Drafty or windy conditions or heavy mechanical traffic such as forklifts require thicker vinyl. Refer to our model charts in each section for more guidelines for choosing the correct model, or call us for help at 1-800-854-7951.
Here's some of the most common vinyl strip door types and uses:
Refrigeration Strip Doors
Industrial Strip Doors
Personnel Strip Doors
Soundblock Strip Doors
Additional Guidelines for Ordering
Measure the width, then the height of the door opening or area where you want
to install the strips.
Decide on the type of mounting that best fits your application. Typically the
wall mount is preferred on doorways. This gets the hardware out of the doorway
and allows the strips to overlap the door jambs for maximum seal and air lock. Allow 6" more
in height and add about 6" total in width when ordering. For in-jamb header
mounts, simply order the exact size you need to span the opening.
Choose the type of material that matches your application
(NOTE: Not all materials are available in all models. Please refer to models
and available compounds chart on material specifications page. Choose the model
number that is best suited for your application.)
Always remember, Simplex specializes in custom manufacturing.
