A well-established regional food distribution company required high-performance door solutions across their state-of-the-art distribution and product development facility — an environment where precise climate control and operational uptime are critical to product integrity.

The project had two distinct requirements: interior high-speed doors to maintain separation between climate-controlled zones in a high-traffic operation, and freezer doors capable of sustained, reliable performance in sub-zero environments without the chronic downtime caused by curtain freezing — a common failure point in cold storage applications.

Selected doors were required to provide emergency egress without reliance on battery backup — a critical life-safety requirement addressed through a custom-configured mechanical release system that automatically opens the door upon activation, ensuring compliant egress under any power condition.

Newport supplied multiple doors equipped with full light grid protection, ensuring safe, high-cycle operation in a busy facility where door reliability directly impacts throughput. The dual-curtain freezer door configuration provided the thermal performance needed to protect frozen inventory while eliminating freeze-up issues that plague conventional single-curtain designs
