Door guard prevents untimely passage

Roll-Up Door Guard is a unique collision prevention system that provides a physical barrier to prevent a vehicle operator from driving through an overhead door before it is fully opened. Easily installed on both manual and automatic overhead doors, it remains down until the door is safely out of the way, then opens to allow traffic. Guard is mechanically linked to door, so no power is required. Increased safety and elimination of damage are benefits.
