Trac-Rite Model 944WL is ideal for the same residential, self-storage, and light-duty uses as our Model 944. In addition, Trac-Rite's windlock system provides maximum wind resistance for the model. As wind blows against the 944WL, the curtain's windlocks engage with the door guide for a strong interlocking grip. The continuous curtain of solid steel is durable and attractive.
Important Note
All Trac-Rite Doors need 23" top clearance.

Determining Your Needs
Follow these steps to pick to design a door for your specific needs:
- Measure Framed Opening
- Measure Mounting Surfaces
- Measure Door Clearance
- Select Door Model
- Choose Accessories
Framed Openings
Measure your framed opening. Doors are custom made to 1" increments in both width and height.
FOR EXAMPLE: If your framed opening is 7'6" wide and 8'0" high, you would order a 7'6"W x 8'0"H (width first, height second) door.
A = Width
B = Height
Mounting Surfaces
Measure the mounting surface areas.
NOTE: All mounting surfaces must be flush.

Choose Model 944, 944WL, 955, 955WL, 988, or 988WL from the Door Model Selection Bar Graph. If there is overlap in door size options, consider how your door will be used. Larger door models have heavier springs, brackets, and guides. The "WL" (wind load) models may be needed when building codes require a specific PSF rating. *Call customer service at 1-888-281-9337 for more details on wind load ratings.
