These doors are replacing the traditional overhead coiling sectional doors in fire stations. These doors open much faster than coiling doors. Ronald L.

If so, I would specify it in Section 08 35 13 "Folding Doors" or more specifically 08 35 13.33 "Panel Folding Doors." Ronald L.

The website for the spec is http://www.doorengineering.com/design_resources/four_fold/four_fold_specs.doc.

Seems like even manufacturers are confused about what section number they fall under!
