Frequently Asked Questions
Dynamic has been making the world's finest closures and grilles for quite some time, and over the course of the years we have come to anticipate what our customers are looking for - before they even think to ask! In this section of the web site, we have compiled a list of the most Frequently Asked Questions. If by chance we have missed something, or if you would like a certain point more fully explained, simply use our handy Contact Us form to drop us note.
| Q. What areas are best suited for the Roll and Fold? |
|---|
| A. First of all this product is for pedestrian control and light security. It is extremely useful in areas that have extremely high ceilings or floors that should not be drilled into. One example; airport kiosks, another is to close off access to a mall after hours while the movie theater is still open. A very popular one is a store within a store that has shorter hours then the host store. |
| Q. Is there a maximum width for Roll and Folds? |
|---|
| A. Not really. The maximum panels we recommend without a bi-part connection is 7 panels. Location circumstances can raise or lower that number. |
| Q. What is the maximum height? |
|---|
| A. The standard height from floor to top of panels is 6 foot 6 inches. This is not a high security partition; it is designed to keep honest people honest. |
| Q. How does someone properly operate a Roll and Fold? |
|---|
| A. Not alone. Moving the product to and from the storage area requires two people. The non-marring rollers allow the Roll and Fold to travel smoothly. The anti-sway latches assist moving the partition safely by keeping the panels spread apart to avoid tipping. |
| Q. Is there any kind of track for the partition? |
|---|
| A. No. The Roll and Fold is extremely flexible and does not use a track system. |
| Q. How wide are the panels that make up the curtain? |
|---|
| A. Curtains panels are standard widths of 36 and 42 inches. Dynamic will customize sizes to accommodate special existing conditions. |
| Q. How do the locking posts work and where are they? |
|---|
| A. Locking posts work the same as standard side folding post. The hook bolt lead locking post is the most common to secure the partition to a wall or shelving. This post could be used on both ends. The other type of lead post is a bi-part. This combination post is commonly used on larger openings to lock two partitions together. A fixed end post is just that, permanently attached to a structure. This post can be used if the partition is not stacking to a remote location. |
| Q. Do we need floor sockets? |
|---|
| A. No. Floor sockets can be of use only if the partition needs to follow a specific lease line. The drop bolt and floor socket can help keep the partition in position. Not highly recommended because the drop bolt can be pull out of the floor socket. |
| Q. How big is the curtain when stacked? |
|---|
| A. Roll and Fold panels are 36 or 42 inches wide. Panels that have locking post will be an additional 3-1/2 inches wider. The depth is 2 inches per panel. Remember the partition is actually 115% of the opening because the panels open alternately at 135 degrees for stability, not a flat 180 degrees. |
| Q. Why is clear anodized Dynamic's standard finish and not mill? |
|---|
| A. The simple answer is to make a quality product. Unlike mill finish, a clear anodized finish will not oxidize and will be a clean product to handle for years to come. |
| Q. What size should the storage area be? |
|---|
| A. The stacked partitions actual depth will vary to the number of panels that comprise the curtain used to secure the opening. Using 2 inches per panel by the width of the widest panel and add a couple of inches for clearance should get you close. Consult factory for an accurate estimate. |
| Q. How do I get more information? |
|---|
| A. It is easy to contact Dynamic Closures. You can either send us an e-mail or use the contact Info feature of this web site, call our friendly Customer Service Reps @ 1-800-663-4599 or fax 1-800-205-6665. |
