What are the results of static force tests on Unique doors?
Static force tests are performed with a specific set of parameters established in advance, such as size of door, distance of pull from a door, how quickly force was applied and others. Unless one knows the exact way a test was performed a direct comparison to other tests is impossible. Unique had our doors, as well as others, tested by an independent testing lab to establish minimum requirements for our doors. Our main objective was to prove that the rust free 6063-T6 alloy that we use is engineered to make our frames at least as strong as the 16 gauge steel frames used by other competitors. Testing to the elastic limits, the independent lab tests showed that our Value Series frames withstood a minimum of 1000 pounds of static force, our Classic Series was more than 1500 pounds and our Premier Series was a minimum of 2000 pounds. These results are clearly superior to others published results.
