Recent Project
We recently completed a commercial door installation in Norfolk, VA (23502) for a medical services building,where reliability, speed, and durability are critical for daily operations. The project involved furnishing and installing a Cookson 22′ x 8’5″ High Performance Extreme 300 Series door paired with a 2 HP GFA motor (460V, 3-phase, 60Hz) for a busy parking garage entrance.
Before the Installation
The parking garage opening required a solution capable of handling frequent traffic while maintaining security and efficiency. In medical environments – especially in high-traffic areas near major routes like North Military Highway and surrounding commercial corridors – delays at entry and exit points can quickly become a problem.
After the Installation
We installed the Cookson Extreme 300 Series high-performance door, designed specifically for demanding commercial environments. With its rapid open/close speeds and heavy-duty construction, this door is built to handle constant use without compromising performance.
The system was powered by a 2 HP GFA 460V 3-phase motor, delivering the strength and reliability required for a large-format opening. Our team ensured precise alignment, proper tensioning, and full system calibration so the door operates smoothly and consistently—even during peak traffic hours.
Safety features and operational settings were thoroughly tested to meet the needs of a medical facility, where dependable access is essential.
Why It Matters
For commercial properties in Norfolk—especially medical and service-based facilities—garage doors are more than just an entry point. They directly impact traffic flow, security, and day-to-day efficiency.
High-performance doors like the Cookson Extreme 300 Series are ideal for parking garages where speed, durability, and minimal downtime are non-negotiable.
