Abstract
A coiling door particularly useful for high wind load conditions includes roller assemblies which are captured in guides along lateral side edges of the door to minimize the drag and friction of the door during operation. As such, the coiling door is operable even under high wind load conditions for movement to and between closed positions because of the roller arrangement coupling the lateral side edges of the door to guides mounted along the sides of the door opening.
