Schweiss designed the Arm Latch to use a Center Latch Strap instead of steel cables. The Center Latch Strap design sets us apart from others that are using cables to latch their door in tight. “Gone are the cables and clamps”, Schweiss says! The new modernized design auto latch using straps is durable and outlasts steel cables.
Schweiss Doors design team came out with patented lift strap doors in 1998; a proven design for over 26 years. Now offering the new Strap Latch “total strap design” is the most recent major breakthrough in the bifold door industry, and it comes only from Schweiss Doors.
Some manufacturers still continue to try and sell cable lift bifold doors - cable doors that not only require frequent maintenance due to fraying, breaking and overwrapping, but which also open much slower, are hard to adjust, are not as safe as straps, and are noisier than lift strap doors.
When using radio controls you must have the auto latching system. If not, provide lock safety switch to eliminate possible damage if door is opened in locked position.
All doors equipped with remote operators should have a warning system to alert persons in the immediate area that the door is moving.

“The thought process and mechanical aptitude to create the “strap latch” and lift strap system was quite ingenious. It's hard to say just one thing I like about my Schweiss door. I like the engineering, the quality and the operation of the door. The way it lifts up and down nicely and seals well... you guys did an excellent job on this new strap latch design!”
