Welcome to Apache Street Self Storage in Tulsa, Oklahoma, your trusted partner for secure and reliable self-storage solutions. This guide is designed to help you understand and safely use the roll-up doors fitted on our storage units.
What is a Roll-Up Door?
A roll-up door is a type of door made from horizontal slats that roll up to open, and roll down to close, typically using a spring-loaded mechanism to ease the lifting process. They are commonly used in self-storage facilities due to their durability and ease of use.
How to Operate a Roll-Up Door
Operating a roll-up door is straightforward, but it's important to follow these steps to ensure smooth and safe usage:
- Ensure the area around the door is clear of obstructions.
- Grip the handle and pull upwards smoothly until the door is fully open.
- To close, gently pull down on the handle, guiding the door down until it securely is all the way down.
Maintenance Tips
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and proper functioning of your roll-up door:
- Lubricate the springs and rollers periodically to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
- Inspect the door and its components for signs of wear and tear, especially the springs and cables.
- Keep the tracks clean from debris to avoid jamming the door.
Safety Precautions
Roll-up doors are heavy and involve moving parts. Observe these safety tips to prevent accidents:
- Never stand directly under an open roll-up door.
- Do not attempt to manually open or close the door if you suspect any malfunction.
- Use the handles or pulling lanyards provided; never use the locking mechanism or the edges of the door to operate.
