High wind / Cyclone areas (Roller doors)

If you live in a harsh environment, it is sometimes necessary to engineer your garage door a little differently to ensure it withstands the particular stresses it may be subject to and keeps protecting you and your home. Steel-Line Windlok by Creeks Metal Industries secures and protects A - AA & B roller doors in cyclonic conditions.

Unique design, greater strength.

Great strength and rigidity are qualities of the unique design of the Steel-Line Windlok System for roller doors used in high wind locations. The patented system, developed by Creeks, incorporates a moulded lug secured to the door curtain, which interlocks the matching shaped side-track. The design ensures smooth operation with exceptional wind load characteristics.

Added security.

The Steel-Line Windlok roller door guide channel system holds the door firmly in position to help prevent damage caused by high winds. It also serves as an extra safe-guard against break-ins, because the curtain cannot be easily pushed in to allow unwanted entry.

If you live in Australia’s high-wind or cyclonic areas, Steel-Line’s Windlok System by Creeks helps to keep you safe. Creek’s patented design minimises air infiltration and enables your roller door to withstand high-force wind conditions.

Installation

A major advantage of the Steel-Line Windlok System by Creeks is that it is as simple to install as a standard Steel-Line roller door. Some allowance for extra curtain width is necessary, and provided the support structure is adequate the fixing is quick and easy, using the height adjustable bracket system.

Independently Tested and Certified

Tested and Certified Investigation and calculations for ‘Ultimate Limit State Design’ conducted by Technisearch Ltd., of Melbourne Australia, showed the Steel-Line Windlok System, by Creeks, complied with Australian Standard AS1170.2-2002, Section 3, for Category C regions with wind speeds to 70 metres/second, subject to proper fixing of the bracket to an approved supporting structure.

Economical and Versatile

The costs are minimal in comparison to the advantages gained when the Steel-Line Windlok System is included in an new installation.
