(Note: Some facilities have special doors that require specialty locks. Specialty locks are available for purchase at those facilities that require them.)

What’s a roll-up door?
Roll-up doors are like garage doors – they roll up overhead for easy access. They’re usually wider than swing doors, so it’s easy to move things in and out.
