Raptor Rigid™ Security Door Buyer’s Guide: Which Model Is Right for You?

View our Raptor Rigid™ Security Door model comparison guide.

Security shouldn’t slow down productivity. Conventional rolling steel and sectional exterior security doors can be bottlenecks — they’re slow, maintenance-heavy and not built for the pace of modern operations.

The Raptor Rigid Security Door lineup is the alternative. These doors are engineered for security at the door and beyond. The three models each combine speed, reliability and a proven service network to keep operations moving while keeping people safe.

Why Choose the Raptor Rigid line of Security Doors?

All three models share core advantages over conventional rolling steel or sectional doors:

• Speed: Much faster with speeds of 3x to 10x conventional doors — up to 80”/sec.
• Reliability: An industry-leading warranty and local Rite-Hite service network back up your investment.
• Safety First: Every door includes countdown alerts, light curtains, and optional visual warnings.
• Smarter Maintenance: From springless design to Predictive Spring Life, downtime risks are reduced.
• Rite-Hite ONE Connectivity: Remote monitoring and alerts extend security and visibility beyond the door.

The price is comparable, but Raptor Rigid’s value exceeds all competitor doors. So which of the three models is right for your facility? The difference is in the details. This Raptor Rigid line of security doors buyer’s guide breaks down each door’s unique features and benefits.
