1). What is the difference between a Northern Stack and a Southern Stack Door System?

There are actually a couple of differences. With a Northern Stack System, the bottom rails are not exposed to the exterior when the doors are fully closed. This means the Northern Stack System is generally used in climates where ice and snow are prevelent. With the Northern Stack System, the doors also stack on the inside of the building when they are in the full open position. With the Southern Stack System, portions of the bottom rails are exposed to the exterior when the doors are fully closed. The doors on the Southern Stack System also stack on the outside of the building when they are in the full open position.



2). What does a Norco Universal Door System include?

Unlike many of our competiors, Norco Door Systems include everything you'll need for a complete installation. We coordinate and supply all components for the upper guide rail system including the upper guide beams, soffit closure plates, track brackets and "tee" clips. For the bottom rail system Norco includes the rails, leveling angles, nuts and anchor bolts. Norco also includes top-qualtiy neoprene seals for each door panel and a complete electrical operating system.



3). What type of covering can be used on the door?

Beacause Norco Universal Door Systems are fully adaptale to a variety of needs, a standard Norco door can be covered on one or both sides with rib panels, foam panels, flat sheeting, plywood or solar plastics. The door can accommadate a 1 1/2" thick interior and exterior metal wall panel, or for special applications, thicker panels can be used upon request. Norco can also specity a host of insulation options to meet energy efficiency criteria.



4). Can you put personnel doors and windows into the doors?

Yes. The flexible technology used by Norco allows for the addition of unlimited window and personnel door configurations in our door panels. This improves our ability to meet our customers' personal aesthetic and functional building needs.



5). Once I specify a Norco door who handles my project?

At Norco, an engineering project manager is assigned to oversee each project from start to finish. This includes all design, manufacturing and quality control functions. This gives you a single point of contact and helps ensure that your job is done to your specifications.
