3D-prototyping Rapid prototyping is nowadays a basic part of all our R&D projects. For judging the end result of a new product, it is inevitable to have a 3D prototype “in hand” for a go/no go decision. In our booth in IDA EXPO, we bring a basic 3D-printer, which we will demonstrate to you “live”, printing a small FlexiForce plastic 3D-object that you can take home with you. Our expert is available to show you how easy it really is. You could consider to have your own 3D-printer in your company! Come and view the magic!

Torsion tubes and shafts
STOCK UP NOW AT THE AMAZING PRICE OF ONLY: $0.32 PER FOOT!!
Our line-up of torsion tubes and shafts has become very popular with our customers. Stocked at our warehouse is a broad range of 1” galvanized tubing and solid shafts with continuous keyway in both 1’ and 1 ¼” in either galvanized or black. These products, provided in accordance to DASMA ANSI 102-2004 standards, have been widely used in the European and other world markets where they have demonstrated their reliability and quality performance for over 30 years. Unique to the series is an 11 gauge, galvanized tube shaft with a continuous key-way. This product is well-suited for application on larger doors, heavy wooden carriage house doors or door systems where a jackshaft operator is employed. It also provides an intermediate solution for industrial doors, covering a wide range of door sizes (weights) too heavy for 12 or13 gauge tubing without moving to the more expensive solid shaft alternative.

Hinges: 11Ga, 14Ga and 18Ga Compare and see the difference! The need for a good quality hinge is often underestimated. For example, on heavier doors, it could easily happen that due to the load on the hinge blades, the number 5 or number 6 hinge breaks. That is why, for example, in designing our 11 gauge hinges, we made sure that the thickness is on the plus tolerance. So, thicker compared to other hinges in the market and with that of course: Stronger!
New rollers! FlexiForce is excited to announce the addition of two new roller design types to our already extensive range of garage door roller solutions!! First is our new 3” solid tire roller. Available with either 7” stem (581-7) or 9” stem (581-9), these new rollers are zinc plated and designed with the most demanding conditions in mind for industrial doors (175 pound load rating). These rollers are in stock now and our prices cannot be beat! Also new to the FlexiForce roller line-up is a nylon roller utilizing a sealed 6200z bearing. Available in both 4” stem (574-6200z) or 7” stem (5756200z) these rollers are zinc plated and carry a 100 pound load rating.
Keep burglars out! According to statistics in the USA, almost 50% of all residential burglaries happen by entering a home through the garage door. A large percentage of those burglaries simply because the home owner is leaving the door open. Another part happens by burglars getting hold of the remote control of the garage door opener (left in the car or…). The rest simply by forcing the door panels out of the track construction by using a crowbar. FlexiForce now offers a simple solution which increases the burglarresistance of your garage and home: 2605L/R floor bracket for bottom roller lock-up.
Absolute flawless action and impressive design characteristics make this roller suitable for a wide range of special applications or simply to provide the “smoothest ride” for any door! These rollers are in stock now and our prices cannot be beat! CALL NOW for the 6200z roller from FlexiForce!!.
Caps Simple, neatly designed black CR1 caps cover the open ends of horizontal tracks. Really showing to the end user that your door is all about the finishing touch on details. Small investment with high appearance gains!
A clear demonstration movie on FF-TV (YouTube) shows a burglary attempt with and without 2605L installed.
