Douglasville anchors the I-20 corridor west of Atlanta — close enough to the city for same-day freight, far enough out that industrial land still makes sense. Distribution operations, contractor yards, and service trades have filled in along I-20 and Highway 5, with the commercial strip around Arbor Place and Chapel Hill handling the retail side. It's a working corridor: box trucks, equipment trailers, and forklifts, all day. The overhead doors on these buildings take a beating, which is why so many of them are commercial roll-up — fewer moving parts than a sectional door, nothing to derail, and the full opening stays clear.

We're Steel Curtain Doors, a commercial roll-up door company based in Suwanee, Georgia, and a division of Southern Home Creations. Douglasville is inside our metro Atlanta installation area — our crews install on-site — or buy direct and pick up at our shop at 4110 Tench Road Suite D, Suwanee, GA 30024 (about 45 minutes via I-20 and I-285).

Sizing for how the door gets used

Forget the catalog for a second and think about duty cycle — how many times that door opens on a normal day:

A few times a day (storage unit, equipment shed, occasional-access bay): Janus 650, up to 10×10. Simple, economical, manual push-up.
Regular daily use (contractor shop, service bay, warehouse personnel door): Janus 1000 or 2000 (to 12×14 / 12×16), manual or chain hoist. This is where most Douglasville buildings land.
Conditioned space (heated shop, climate-controlled storage): Janus 1000i or 2000i with R-4.0 insulation. Costs more; worth it if you're paying to heat or cool the building.
Constant cycling (distribution dock, high-traffic bay): Janus 2500 or 3100, up to 18×18, with chain hoist standard and electric operators available. Built for doors that work as hard as the forklifts.

Douglasville FAQs

My door gets hit by forklifts. Which model holds up best?

The 2500 and 3100 series — heavier gauge curtain, stronger guides. But honest answer: no door loves getting hit. If it's happening regularly, the fix is bollards or guide protection, not just a heavier door. We'll tell you straight.

Do you repair existing roll-up doors, or only sell new?

We do both in metro Atlanta. Springs, rollers, slat replacement, operator issues — call (470) 802-3203 and describe what's wrong. If it's a simple part we stock, we can often fix it same-visit.

What's the turnaround from quote to installed?

Stock sizes: usually within one to two weeks, sometimes faster. Special-order colors or custom sizes: add 2–3 weeks. We'll give you a straight timeline when you call — no "4 to 6 weeks" hedge.

Can I pick up the door myself?

Absolutely — that's the buy-direct model. Most doors fit in a pickup with the tailgate down or a small trailer. We'll load it and make sure it's secured. Same price as installed, minus the install.

Measure it right

Opening width and height, three measurements each, smallest wins. Don't measure the old door — measure the framed opening. How to Measure guide. Then call (470) 802-3203 or hit the quote request page.
