Foreword (This foreword is included for information only and is not part of ANSI/DASMA 203-2004, Standard for Non-Fire Rated Rolling Doors.)

This standard was developed by the Technical Committee of the DASMA Rolling Door Division. It incorporates years of experience in designing and testing non-fire-rated rolling doors.

The DASMA Rolling Door Division approved the standard as a DASMA standard on June 9, 2003.

DASMA employed the canvass method to demonstrate consensus and to gain approval as an American National Standard. The ANSI Board of Standards Review granted approval as an American National Standard on October 22, 2004.

DASMA recognizes the need to periodically review and update this standard. Suggestions for improvement should be forwarded to the Door & Access Systems Manufacturers� Association, International, 1300 Sumner Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, 44115-2851.

2.9 **Curtain Slats: Formed sheet metal or extruded members that, when interlocked together, form the door curtain.

2.10 Cycle: An action on the door from the

fully closed position, to the fully open position, and returned to the fully closed position.

2.11 Fascia: A metal closure for back of the

door housing.

2.12 *Guide: Vertical assembly in which the curtain travels and that is fastened to the jamb, retaining the edges of the door curtain and closing the space between the curtain edges and the jamb.

2.13 *Hood: A sheet metal housing that mounts horizontally between the brackets, serving as an enclosure for the coiled curtain and closing the space between the door coil and the lintel.

2.14 Hood Baffle: A flap of material with

Appendix A: Informational Statements

A.1. Most rolling doors with windlocks cannot be operated when wind load engages the windlocks, due to the sliding friction of the curtain within the guides. Contact the manufacturer for special requirements.

A.2. Loads are imposed onto the building structure from two sources: Wind load and door weight. Wind loading can produce substantial catenary forces in rolling doors as a result of the locking action of the curtain edges within the guides. The jambs must be designed to withstand these loads. These loads are in addition to those created by the direct wind pressure and weight of the door assembly. The magnitude and direction of these loads should be obtained from the manufacturer. DASMA Technical Data Sheet TDS-251 may be used to state these loads.

A.3. After being subjected to wind loading, rolling doors may retain some curvature in the curtain, particularly on narrow doors.

A.4. Calculations for overall performance and pass/fail prediction of the door system are well established. Detailed stresses in the curtain slats under wind loads cannot be calculated accurately since the large-deflection of these parts invalidates the assumptions used to derive common engineering formulae.

A.5. Manual operation of rolling doors (push up, hand chain or crank to open) is generally heavy in the bottom half to two-thirds of door travel and light for the top third. Refer to DASMA Technical Data Sheet TDS-272 for additional information.
