Open Sesame Garage Door Service is an approved Trac-Rite dealer authorized to supply and install steel rollup doors for self-storage facilities throughout Missouri.
✓ Approved Trac-Rite Dealer & InstallerOpen Sesame Garage Door Service has been approved as an authorized Trac-Rite dealer. That means we can both order Trac-Rite rollup doors directly for your project and handle the professional installation. You work with one contractor from order to completion — no coordinating between a supplier and a separate installer.
Trac-Rite manufactures steel rollup doors used in self-storage facilities across the United States. Their Model 944, 977, and 988 lines are among the most widely installed rollup doors in the self-storage industry, known for long service life, low maintenance, and a 10-year spring warranty that is essentially unmatched in the category.
Whether you're opening a new self-storage facility, replacing worn-out doors on an existing property, or expanding your unit count, call Jerry at 314-897-4721 to discuss the project.
Three models covering standard self-storage units through large commercial openings.
The industry-standard door for self-storage units. Fits standard locker-sized openings and is rated for exterior use in the majority of the US, including Missouri.
Also available as 944WL (windlock) for high-wind code areas.
Built for larger openings — boat storage, RV storage, and oversized self-storage units where the 944 is too narrow. Heavy-duty continuous steel curtain.
Ideal for boat/RV storage, agricultural buildings, and light commercial.
The largest door in the Trac-Rite lineup. Engineered for demanding commercial and industrial applications with heavy-duty construction and wide opening capability.
Suitable for warehouses, shipping docks, post-frame buildings, machine shops, and commercial self-storage.
These features distinguish Trac-Rite from commodity rollup doors and explain why they're a dominant brand in the professional self-storage market.
Rust-resistant coating on every spring. No lubrication required. Backed by a 10-year spring warranty — longer than any other rollup door manufacturer in this category.
Model 944 is rated for exterior use across most of the US and Canada. Windlock (WL) versions available for areas with stricter building codes or hurricane zones.
Doors are ordered in 1-inch width and height increments within each model's range — so they fit existing rough openings precisely rather than requiring frame modifications.
Pre-installed latch accepts two padlocks. Optional cylinder lock upgrade for master-key compatibility — common for self-storage operators who need manager override access.
Extra-wide felt strips on the back of the door curtain reduce friction noise and provide smooth operation through thousands of cycles without maintenance.
Trac-Rite manufactures in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin using automated production that provides consistent quality across large orders. 100% employee-owned company.
These are the minimum clearance requirements for installing a Trac-Rite 944 — the most common model for standard self-storage units. Requirements vary slightly for other models. Jerry will verify clearances during the site walkthrough before ordering.
