Thermo-Guard
The Energy Saver

1. DOUBLE THERMAL BARRIER – Double structural thermal barrier in all frame sections – minimizes heat flow and condensation.
2. INSULATING GLASS – full 1” tempered sealed insulating glass with a 5/8” air space – two and one half times the insulating air space of ¼” conventional door sealed insulating glass.
3. POSITIVE DRAINING – unique tube sill construction – positive drainage with baffled weeps.
4. WEATHERPROOF – full perimeter double fin seal weather stripping.
5. EASY TO INSTALL – extra deep baffle jambs assure perfect operation, even in out-of-square installations.
6. MAXIMUM STREGTH – unique telescoping interlocking corners, tubular jamb, head and sill prevent twisting, bowing and out of square panels.

1. HARDWARE --  maximum security hardware set positive latching , fully adjustable with custom wood grain handle. Safety latch cannot be accidentally broken. Position Security lock double locks the door in a fully closed position and also locks it in a 5” open position.
2. EASY OPERATION – Doors roll quietly on adjustable tandem, sealed, steel ball bearing roller assemblies. Fully adjustable without removing panels.
3. INSECT PROTECTION – screen panel rides easily on top and bottom steel rollers. Screen interlock with fixed panel interlock to form complete seal.
4. REVERSIBILITY – two panel door fully reversible even after installation. Simplifies inventory and eliminates builder handling worries.
5. PAINTED FINISH – electrostatic baked-on brown or white enamel paint finish.

Even when subject to dry ice induced cold and frost at 110’ below, the Series 1200 double thermal break stops cold from penetrating to the interior.

Security and Position Lock is optional on all Series 1200 Thermo-Guard. This unique positive action lock provides anti-burglary protection. It double-locks the door in a fully closed position and also locks it in a 5-inch open position for ventilation.

Series 1200 Test Data The following are the test results of a current test of a 6’ x 6’8” unit,
tested at a Warnock Hersey Testing Laboratory. The unit that has been tested meets or exceeds
CAN/CGSB-82.1-M89 specification and no representation as to air infiltration
is made except to the model tested.

Series 1200 Data
(SDG-C30)
Maximum Recommended Humidity Levels

Based on engineering studies conducted at the University of Minnesota Laboratories.
Higher humidity levels can allow water vapor to pass through walls and condense in insulation, tend to cause exterior paint failure and could cause roof sheathing to buckle.
