Elephant Doors

Woodfold Roll-Up Doors represent the pinnacle of functional design, offering a sophisticated solution for security, space management, and aesthetic appeal. These doors are available in a diverse range of operating styles to suit your specific needs, including manual, motorized, or crank-driven systems. Whether you are looking for the ease of a remote-controlled motor or the classic feel of a manual lift, Woodfold provides a seamless experience. Every door is crafted from high-quality materials, with options available in nearly any hardwood species you can imagine, from rich walnut and classic oak to exotic cherry or maple.

Our commitment to a truly custom experience means you are in control of every detail. Our bespoke offerings allow you to customize everything from the mounting styles and security latches to the specific wood grain and the final stain or finish. If you have an existing design palette, we offer professional color matching services to ensure your roll-up door integrates perfectly with your project’s architecture. This level of personalization ensures that the door is not just a utility, but a featured design element of the room.

Engineered for Precision and Longevity

Woodfold interior Roll-Up Doors are not only gorgeous to look at; the custom building process ensures unmatched consistency, precise fits, and incredibly tight tolerances. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, each Woodfold door is manufactured to your exact specifications, eliminating the gaps and alignment issues often found in “off-the-shelf” products. This precision is what makes them the preferred choice for high-end residential bars, commercial service windows, and professional reception areas.

The reliability and smooth operation of our doors depend entirely on our meticulous attention to detail. A key feature of our construction is the use of aircraft-grade stainless steel cables. These high-strength cables are used to tension the entire assembly, providing the internal structural integrity required for seamless, continued operation over thousands of cycles. By utilizing these premium components, Woodfold ensures that the door remains easy to operate and visually stunning for years to come, resisting the sagging or binding common in lesser door systems.

Stage Doors

specialty Doors Logo
Elephant Doors' Stage Doors are a specialized large-format door system engineered for the unique operational, acoustic, and logistical demands of professional theater, performing arts, and live entertainment venues where the stage door is a critical functional and acoustic element of the building's performance infrastructure. Designed to accommodate the movement of large set pieces, production equipment, orchestras, and stage crew while providing meaningful acoustic separation between the stage and the outside...
Features
  • Custom-Fit to Non-Standard Openings Stage structures aren't built around door catalogs. We custom-fit to whatever the opening actually is — irregular dimensions, out-of-square frames, tight clearances, and load-bearing constraints all handled.
  • Acoustic Sealing in a Standard Door Form Factor You don't need a 20-foot bay door to control sound between adjacent spaces. Our stage doors deliver meaningful acoustical performance — sealed panels, perimeter gaskets, and insulated cores — in a practical, walk-through door format.
  • Sourcing Expertise for Hard-to-Find Specs If a general commercial door supplier has told you the opening is too unusual or the spec is too tight, that's exactly when to call us. We've been solving hard door problems in production facilities since 1996.
  • Fast Turnaround on Custom Quotes Production schedules don't wait. We prioritize fast quoting on stage door projects and respond within one business day so you can keep your project on track.

Elephant Doors

specialty Doors Logo
Elephant Doors are the industry standard for extraordinarily large, high-performance door systems engineered for applications where conventional door solutions simply cannot meet the demands of the opening, the environment, or the operational requirements. Designed and manufactured by Elephant Doors — a company whose entire identity and engineering focus is built around the challenge of making very large doors perform exceptionally well — these systems are used in film studios, aircraft...
Features
  • 53 STC Sound Transmission Class Achieved using 3.5″ steel panels with full-perimeter double acoustical seals. Our systems consistently meet or exceed rated performance in real-world field conditions.
  • Concealed Electric Operator A roller chain concealed inside the track drives the panels silently and smoothly. No exposed cable, no visible hardware — just a clean, professional finish on a massive system.
  • Panels Shipped in 4–5 Foot Widths Every panel arrives in manageable widths for easier on-site handling, staging, and installation — reducing labor time and the risk of damage during delivery.
  • Curved & Radius Track Options Non-linear or angled openings are no problem. We engineer curved and radius track hardware in both manual and electric configurations for complex architectural layouts.
  • Acoustical Man-Doors Available We frequently pair elephant door systems with acoustical swinging walk-through doors — complete with frames, hinges, and perimeter gaskets — to fully close out the sound envelope.

Soundstage Doors

Elephant Doors' Soundstage Doors are purpose-engineered for the film, television, and music production industries, delivering the extraordinary combination of massive scale, precise acoustic control, and reliable daily operation that professional production environments demand. Designed to serve the world's most demanding soundstages, recording studios, and production facilities, these doors are built to span enormous openings — accommodating film sets, large recording orchestras, and full production equipment — while achieving the high...
Features
  • Purpose-Built for Film & TV Production Engineered specifically for the demands of active soundstage environments — where equipment must move freely, sound must be contained, and the system has to perform every single day.
  • 53 STC Rating with Field-Verified Results Lab ratings only tell part of the story. Our on-site acoustical test — conducted June 20, 2013 at an 18′ × 20′ installation — returned a Noise Isolation Coefficient of 50 on the studio side, equivalent to an 8″ brick wall. No editing, no lab conditions.
  • Double Perimeter Acoustical Seals When the door closes, it seals. Double acoustical seals around the entire movable element ensure the stage environment is properly isolated every time the door shuts.
  • Sized for Production Bay Openings Standard installations run 18′ × 20′, with systems completed up to 40′ high. Designed to clear full camera rigs, lighting setups, set pieces, and production vehicles without modification.

Real-World Test Results
Beat the Lab

After completing an 18′ × 20′ installation, the studio owner requested on-site acoustical documentation. Huge speakers blasted "pink noise" — similar to a jet engine. The results exceeded expectations.

Our on-site tests have consistently outperformed lab results. Acoustical data is available upon request for any project.
