Kwik Frame

CannonBall began in 1916 by Hunt, Helm and Ferris Company in Harvard, Illinois. In today's post frame and metal building markets, there are lots of choices available for building accessories and components. Choosing the right components for your project will play a critical role in feeling satisfaction.

  • Designed for buildings with roll-formed siding
  • Cost effective alternative to costly overhead door systems
  • Versatile for bypass, split-slider and multi-panel doors
  • Comes with a powder coat finish for a durable, quality appearance that will outlast paint under all weather conditions
  • Ideal for smaller size doors (under 144 square feet)

#200 Vertical Side Rail

  • Includes a self-flashing J-channel
  • Provides easy door panel skin installation and a professional look.
  • Sturdy, rust-free aluminum materials offer long-lasting functionality, finished looks and quick assembly.
  • Side rail profile conceals all exposed steel, giving the panel a smooth, clean edge that won’t cut or scratch.
  • An optional vinyl weather seal can easily slide into the built-in T-slot for quick, easy weather sealing.

#216 Double Couple

  • Double Couple design aligns both sliding door panels together when the door is closed, preventing wind and rain intrusion.
  • The H-rail functionality actually wraps the edge of the joining door panel, offering a stronger connection while it increases unit durability and sliding door system longevity.
  • A built-in J-channel offers easy installation of the door panel skin.

#244 Bottom Rail

Ideal for most sliding doors, the 244 Bottom Rail is used with a continuous guide rail to provide optimal wind resistance for the Kwik Frame Sliding Door System.

  • Strong aluminum construction allows the 244 Bottom Rail to provide additional support for the door panel, saving cost and assembly time associated with an unnecessary bottom horizontal girt.
  • Two built-in channels within the rail allow for the use of an optional vinyl or brush seal to keep out dust, dirt, rain and snow.
  • Bottom rail design can conceal a guide rail or stay roller — preventing door sway and providing clean operation.

Steel Girts

Designed for ideal horizontal support on sliding door frames, the 235 Steel Girt is a 20-gauge galvanized steel beam sized for optimal door frame construction and support.

  • Long lasting, rust-free materials avoid the rotting and warping issues associated with 2×4 lumber.
  • The hollow girt design offers more strength and less weight than comparable lumber horizontals, providing easier installation and lighter full-assembled doors.
