    How Low Can You Go?
    		 
     
    Accident
    Prevent injury from hard-bottom overhead doors.
    		 Watch the video and you'll see that people can do some crazy things when using overhead doors.

    Despite product and safety awareness training, warning labels and other protective measures, every day people take risks when using a doorway. The hard-bottom edge nearly clipped two people in the video you just watched. If they hadn't "limboed" under the door, they could have sustained severe injuries.

    While no door can completely eliminate the chance of injury, Rite-Hite doors come with innovative and industry-leading safety features. For example: Our soft-bottom-edge doors flex on impact, unlike other products that use rigid steel or aluminum bars for curtain bottom edges.
