1. Schweiss has figured out and designed a way to modify any bifold that’s ever been manufactured. We can retrofit any existing cable door with the Schweiss design “Lift Straps” no matter the make, model or brand.
2. Schweiss has brought relief to customers with old vintage cable bifold doors. Finally customers with cables can be at ease. They’re able to do away with the antiquated cable lift design and retrofit any style or brand bifold door over to the latest and greatest Schweiss “Lift Straps.”
3. The strap advantage is huge. Straps are longer lasting, never rust, never tangle, are flexible, open a door faster and are 100 percent quieter than steel-on-steel cables. With lift straps, door owners get a “soft start” and “soft stop”, adding to the life of the bifold door. Schweiss stands behind the “New Lift Straps” by carrying a
10-year warranty and straps last well over three times longer than cables.
Lift Straps are rated for 29,000 lbs.
Cables are only rated for 7,200 lbs.
LIFT STRAPS ARE A BETTER SOLUTION
• Quieter
• Safer
• Faster
• Easy to install
• Easy to maintain
• Last longer
LIFT STRAPS ARE BETTER THAN OUTDATED CABLES
Some manufacturers still continue to try and sell outdated cable lift bifold doors – cable doors that not only require frequent maintenance due to fraying and over-wrapping but also open much slower. They are hard to adjust, not as reliable as straps and much noisier than lift strap doors too. Straps doors are a better design!

About Schweiss Doors
Schweiss manufactures two styles of doors: 1) the famous lift-strap bifold door, and 2) The “One Piece”, Schweiss hydraulic Door. And indeed Schweiss doors are traveling worldwide! Three Schweiss hydraulic units were shipped to Shanghai, China in February to be fitted as ‘window walls’ for a luxury restaurant in a new $250 million Ritz-Carlson Hotel.
The Schweiss Lift-Strap System utilizes nylon web material, which quietly wraps on a take-up spindle when the start-stop button activates an electric motor. Tensile strength of this nylon strap: 29,000 lbs! Straps are quiet, clean, quick, rust-free, durable and longer lasting than steel cables.
Schweiss Doors is one of about ten Hydraulic & Bifold door manufacturers nationwide, but only Schweiss has the patented nylon strap system. And size isn’t an issue. Their biggest bifold door to date is a massive 140′ wide facility. Their biggest single project: 145 doors, each 12′ x 40′, for T-hangers at Bult Field near Chicago, a new privately owned airfield.
