Why Kodiak for High Speed Doors
What separates us from a general door company
01
Repair Before Replace
A high speed door that throws error codes or cycles slow doesn’t always need a full replacement. Worn belts, failed photo eyes, dirty encoders, and burned VFDs are all repairable. We diagnose first and replace only when repair costs exceed 50-60% of a new door.
02
Brand-Neutral. Parts-Stocked. No Upsell.
We service Hormann, Rytec, Goff, ASI, Albany, Dynaco, and Cornell. We don’t push one manufacturer over another – we recommend whatever fits your facility’s cycle count, opening size, and environment.
03
35+ Years on High Speed Door Systems
Kodiak has worked on high speed rolling doors in warehouses, food plants, clean rooms, and distribution centers since 1990. Our technicians handle VFD programming, safety sensor calibration, and control panel diagnostics. We don’t outsource the electrical work.

Types of High Speed Doors We Install & Service
Fabric roll up doors, rolling steel doors, fire rated high speed doors, freezer doors, insulated panel doors.
High Speed Fabric Roll Up Doors
Fabric roll up doors are the most common high speed door in commercial and industrial facilities. The curtain is flexible PVC or vinyl that rolls around a barrel at the top of the frame. If a forklift clips the curtain, it pops out of the side rails and resets without structural damage – no downtime, no repair call. Kodiak installs high speed fabric roll up doors from Hormann (Flexon line), Rytec, and Goff. We carry replacement curtain material, motors, and VFDs for same-day repairs. Operating speed: 40 to 80 inches per second. Best for: Interior warehouse openings, production zone separation, clean rooms, food processing
Request Service
High Speed Rolling Steel Doors
Rolling steel doors handle exterior openings and high-security applications where a fabric curtain won't hold up. Interlocking steel slats wind around a barrel. These doors are heavier and slower than fabric models, but they resist wind loads, forced entry, and heavy industrial traffic. Kodiak installs and services high speed rolling steel doors for loading docks, parking structures, and facilities that need wind-rated exterior closures. Operating speed: 24 to 36 inches per second. Best for: Exterior loading docks, parking garages, security-sensitive facilities, high-wind locations
Request Service
Fire Rated High Speed Roll Up Doors
Fire rated high speed roll up doors cycle fast during normal operations and drop automatically when the fire alarm activates. They carry UL 10B, UL 10C, or UL 325 ratings depending on the model. Building code requires a fire-rated closure in any opening that penetrates a fire-rated wall. Kodiak installs fire rated high speed doors from Hormann and Rytec with ratings up to 3 hours. We also test and certify existing fire doors during annual inspections. Ratings available: 1-hour, 1.5-hour, 3-hour. Best for: Openings in fire-rated walls, corridors between production zones, code-required separations
Request Service
High Speed Freezer Doors
Cold storage and freezer facilities need doors that cycle fast enough to prevent frost buildup on the floor and walls around the opening. High speed roll up freezer doors open and close in under two seconds and include heated side columns and bottom bars to prevent the curtain from icing over. Kodiak installs freezer-rated high speed doors from Hormann (CHILLFAST), Rytec, and Dynaco (Freezer M2). We carry motor parts and control boards for same-day repairs. Operating speed: 60 to 100 inches per second. Best for: Freezer rooms, cold storage facilities, pharmaceutical cold rooms, food processing plants
Request Service
High Speed Vinyl and PVC Doors
Vinyl and PVC high speed doors are lighter and less expensive than fabric or steel models. They work well in interior applications where speed matters more than insulation or security. Kodiak installs high speed vinyl roll up doors in car washes, auto dealerships, service bays, and light industrial buildings that need zone separation without a heavy-duty door. Operating speed: 40 to 60 inches per second. Best for: Car washes, auto shops, dealerships, light industrial interiors
Request Service
Insulated High Speed Roll Up Doors
Insulated panel doors use rigid foam-filled panels instead of flexible curtain material. They provide better R-value than fabric doors while cycling faster than a standard insulated sectional overhead door. Kodiak installs insulated high speed roll up doors for exterior openings on warehouses and distribution centers where both temperature control and fast cycle time are required. Best for: Exterior openings needing insulation and speed, climate-controlled warehouses, distribution docks
Request ServiceAbout Our High Speed Door Service
Most general door companies send an overhead door tech who has never worked on a high speed system. High speed doors have VFDs, encoders, photo eyes, bottom-edge safety sensors, and control boards that standard overhead doors don’t have. A tech who can fix a sectional dock door but has never programmed a Hormann VFD isn’t the right person for the job.
Kodiak’s technicians have installed, repaired, and maintained high speed rolling doors for over 35 years. We work on the electrical and control systems in-house – we don’t call a subcontractor for VFD work or sensor calibration. We stock drive components, curtain material, and safety parts on our trucks so most high speed door repairs finish in a single visit.
We service high speed doors across St. Louis, neighboring Missouri locations, neighboring Illinois locations, Springfield, and Jefferson City.
Kodiak’s high speed door maintenance program covers safety sensor testing and recalibration, curtain and seal inspection, motor, belt, and brake inspection, VFD parameter check and speed verification.
Maintenance also includes lubrication of bearings, shafts, and moving components, full open-close cycle test with speed measurement, and control panel diagnostic and error log review.
High Speed Door Maintenance
A high speed door that cycles 300 times a day puts over 100,000 cycles on the motor, belts, and curtain in a single year. Without scheduled maintenance, small problems turn into emergency repair calls. A photo eye that drifts out of alignment today becomes a door that won’t close next month.
Industries That Depend on High Speed Doors
High speed doors keep forklift traffic moving, separate production zones, reduce air loss, and protect controlled environments.

Common High Speed Door Problems & Kodiak Fixes
These are the high speed door problems Kodiak sees most often across commercial and industrial facilities, and how we fix them.
1. Door Cycling Slower Than Normal
2. Curtain Dropped Out of Side Rails
3. VFD Throwing Error Codes
4. Safety Sensors Won't Clear
5. Ice Buildup on Freezer Door Guide Rails
6. Door Won't Close Completely
Repair or Replace Your High Speed Door?
A six-step decision process
1
How old is the door?
High speed doors last 7-12 years with maintenance depending on cycle count. A door past 10 years with over 200,000 cycles is reaching end of life on most mechanical components.
2
How often does it break down?
More than two repair calls per year on the same door means replacement starts making financial sense. Stacking repair costs against the price of a new door is a straightforward calculation.
3
What’s it costing you in energy?
A door that cycles slow or doesn’t seal fully bleeds conditioned air. In a climate-controlled facility, that shows up directly on the energy bill.
4
Has the frame been damaged?
Fork impact that bends the frame or side rails usually isn’t worth repairing. A bent frame causes curtain tracking problems that get worse over time.
5
Can you still get parts?
Older high speed door models from discontinued lines get harder to source parts for. If lead times on replacement VFDs or curtains exceed a week, replacement is worth quoting.
6
Get Kodiak’s assessment.
We test cycle speed, check the VFD output, inspect the curtain and guide rails, and evaluate the frame. Straight answer: repair it, or here’s what a new door costs.

High Speed Door FAQ
Answers to the most common high speed door questions from facility managers, warehouse operators, and maintenance teams.
Or call us directly at 636-475-4222 – our team is available Monday-Friday and for emergencies 24/7.
It depends on the door type. Fabric doors cycle at 40 to 80 inches per second. Steel doors are slower, in the 24 to 36 inch per second range. Freezer doors hit 60 to 100 inches per second because fast cycle time is critical for temperature control. For comparison, a standard overhead garage door opens at roughly 7 to 10 inches per second.
Pricing depends on the door size, material, and features. A standard fabric high speed door for a warehouse opening typically runs between $8,000 and $15,000 installed. Fire rated and freezer rated models cost more. Steel high speed doors fall in the $12,000 to $25,000 range depending on wind rating and size. We provide an upfront quote before starting any work. Call 636-475-4222 for a free estimate.
Quarterly for doors that cycle more than 200 times per day. Semi-annual for lower-traffic doors. High cycle counts wear out belts, brakes, and seals faster, and a missed maintenance visit often turns into a more expensive repair call.
Most commercial high speed doors require 208V to 480V three-phase power. The exact requirement depends on the door size and motor. Our technician checks your electrical supply during the site survey and specifies the correct circuit before installation.
Yes. Fire rated high speed roll up doors are available with 1-hour, 1.5-hour, and 3-hour ratings. They function as normal high speed doors during daily use and drop automatically when the fire alarm system activates. We install these in openings that penetrate fire-rated walls where building code requires a rated closure.
We are authorized dealers for Hormann, Rytec, Goff, and ASI high speed doors. We also repair and maintain doors from Albany, Dynaco, and Cornell. We're brand-neutral – we recommend whatever fits your facility best.
Yes. High speed roll up freezer doors include heated side columns and bottom bars to prevent ice buildup, and they cycle in under 2 seconds to minimize temperature loss at the opening. We install freezer-rated high speed doors from Hormann (CHILLFAST), Rytec, and Dynaco (Freezer M2).
A typical installation takes 1 to 2 days depending on the door type and whether the opening needs structural modifications. We handle the framing, electrical, door mounting, VFD programming, and safety sensor calibration. Fire rated and freezer doors with heated components may take an additional day.
Worn belts, failing VFDs, dirty encoders, and low motor torque all reduce cycle speed over time. Speed degrades gradually, so many facility managers don't notice until the door is running at half its rated speed. A maintenance visit catches this before it becomes a breakdown.
Yes. We offer scheduled maintenance programs – quarterly for high-traffic doors, semi-annual for lower-traffic doors. Each visit includes safety sensor testing, curtain inspection, VFD parameter check, belt and motor inspection, and a full cycle test with speed measurement. Written inspection report included.
