From Damage To Defense: Hatfield Courthouse Gets a Schweiss Upgrade. After sustaining an estimated $2.3 million in damages during the 2021 protests, the Hatfield Courthouse in Portland, Oregon took major steps to reinforce its security. Among the upgrades:
7 custom-engineered Schweiss Security Bifold Doors.

These doors now operate daily, providing general security while also standing ready to lock down the building in the event of future unrest. Designed to be both durable and reliable, the doors underwent rigorous testing - including:

• Three 30-minute simulated break-in attempts
• One 1-hour intensive break-in session
• Watertight sealing tests for all-weather protection

See the transformation - from post-riot damage to a fully secured entrance with Schweiss Doors

When you think of top quality car lines, Mercedes-Benz is one of the first to come to mind. When you think of top quality in bifold and hydraulic doors, it's a big ditto for Schweiss.

When Mercedes-Benz of St. Louis built a new building and parking garage on Hampton Avenue it was a Schweiss bifold glass designer door that was incorporated at the new dealership. The Schweiss bifold liftstrap door measures 24' x 9.4' and equipped with electric photo eye sensors, manual latch system, a door base safety edge, black liftstraps and a top drive motor.

The Schweiss bifold system is just like an aluminum frame system like the rest of the building, only with a steel frame. It really gave them the same, consistent look and still be operable for the owner to get their cars in and out.

HLW International of Santa Monica, CA, was charged with turning a 1950s-era brick building into the new home of Red Bull Energy Drink. As part of that process, the firm ordered the demolition of a section of the building's original roof to create an interior courtyard, and then constructed within the courtyard a 40'-wide by 250'-long, non-functioning skateboard ramp, which has offices and conference spaces beneath.

With the ramp being the focal point of the 105,000 sq. ft. building, the architect looked for a way to create a seamless connection between the interior of the building and the courtyard space. That was accomplished with a glass bifold door.

Schweiss Doors of Fairfax, MN, manufactured the door, which weighs approximately 10 tons. To operate the door, two electric motors and eight lift straps are used.

Schmidt Construction of Williams, CA, handled the delivery and installation of the door. Inner Space Constructors of Rancho Dominguez, CA, was the project's general contractor and was responsible for demolition and renovation.

Nine designer-style glass bifold doors from Schweiss Doors of Fairfax, MN, are featured around the perimeter of the Harley-Davidson Cycle Project showroom in Honolulu, HI.

The doors range in size from 18' to 45' wide and when closed, function much the same as ordinary window walls. The advantage of having doors instead of windows is that any or all of them can be opened, which facilitates the movement of inventory in and out of the showroom, and allows natural ventilation to play a much bigger role in interior comfort. Arita/Poulson General Contracting of Puunene, Maui, HI, installed the doors.
