The Cookson Company, Inc.

The Cookson Co. is a family owned and operated business, and the rolling door industry is their area of expertise. More architects specify their products than they do any other rolling door manufacturer.

Rolling Service Doors

The Cookson Co. manufactures heavy duty rolling service doors, designed to last for 50,000 cycles. These doors are known for their ease of operation, their premium ball bearings, balance designs, high efficiency standards, and minimal maintenance. Their rolling service door includes structural angle guides and bottom bar, steel plate brackets, cast iron stops, and heavy duty cast gears, as well as 20 PSF windloading (also known as wind pressure: the intensity of wind against a building). The door is finished with Cookson’s exclusive FinalCote or ColorCote.

Rolling Grilles

Cookson’s rolling grilles have been manufactured using the same materials and designs for decades. Why? Because they work. Solid and secure are two words that describe these rolling grilles. The grille curtains are composed of 5/16” solid aluminum rods with either 1/8” or 3/16”-thick aluminum links. They also include oil-tempered torsion springs designed to last for 50,000 life cycles, aluminum extruded guides and bottom bar, and several finish options. Choose from three different operating methods: crank, motor, or push-up. 

Service Fire Doors

Fire doors have three functions: to seal an opening in a fire wall, to increase a building's safety, and to help protect a building's property during a fire by limiting damage. Cookson’s service fire doors are reliable, durable, cost effective, and equipped with leading technology. The Auto-Test Fire Door Products System was created specifically to work alongside smoke detectors and building alarms. These fire doors come with built-in batteries so they won’t come crashing down during power outages. They also include a governing system that limits the speed at which the door closes to nine inches per second.
