Door Operators That Put Every Janus Door to Work

Add an automatic operator and a roll-up door opens with a remote, a wall station, a keypad or a phone, closes on its own, stops when something is in the way and can keep working through a power outage. Janus matches operators to its self-storage, commercial sheet and rolling steel doors, so every door you buy can be automated the right way.

Operator plus door

What an Automatic Operator Lets Your Door Do

A roll-up door does one job well: it closes off an opening. An operator turns that door into part of how the building runs, with hands-free access, tighter security and safer, smoother operation every cycle.

Open From Anywhere

Open and close with a wall station, remote controls or a keypad. The HIRO adds smartphone control as an upgrade, and the LiftMaster H and GH can be monitored and controlled from the MyQ app.

Control Who Gets In

Rolling code technology opens only for registered devices, the Shed Master’s TrioCode 128 remotes use 128-bit encryption, and keyed and electronic lockouts stop anyone from releasing the door to manual mode.

Close Without Anyone There

Timer-to-close features shut the door after a set time, so openings don’t get left open at the end of a shift or after a delivery.

Run Safer, Every Cycle

Intelligent safety systems, door profiling and photo eyes help stop the door when something is in the way, and Pantheon operators are made to exceed UL 325 requirements.

Keep Working in an Outage

Battery back-up options, electronic limits that aren’t lost when power drops, and manual releases or chain hoists keep the door usable when the power isn’t.

Close Fire Doors When It Counts

Fire door operators close rolling steel fire doors automatically after a time delay, with monitored battery back-up and UL listing.

Self-Storage Operators

An operator on a self-storage roll-up door gives tenants an easier way in and gives your facility another reason to choose its units. Janus carries operators sized for its mini series and larger self-storage doors, with the security, convenience and quiet performance daily operations need.

  • Hands-free access: open a unit door from a wall station, remote or keypad instead of lifting it by hand
  • Keyless entry: open a unit with a keypad for added site security
  • No extra side room: the Pantheon Mini fits inside the door’s torque tube
  • Gentle on the door: soft start and soft stop take stress off the motor and help it last
  • Taller doors covered: the Easy Roller 14 lifts doors up to 14’ high, with battery back-up available

Common questions

Door Operator FAQs

Which door operator fits my Janus door?

It depends on the door family and size. For self-storage and mini doors, the Pantheon Mini fits Series 650, 750, 1000 and 1100 up to 168 sq ft, and the Easy Roller 14 covers up to 180 sq ft. Commercial sheet doors in Series 2000 to 3652 can use the Easy Roller 14, Shed Master, Pantheon Commercial or HIRO. Rolling steel doors use LiftMaster MH, H and GH, Manaras gear operators, FDC and FDCL fire door operators or made-to-order LiftMaster operators.

Can I open a roll-up door from my phone?

Yes, with the right operator. The HIRO offers smartphone control as an upgrade, and the LiftMaster H and GH work with MyQ so facility operators can monitor and control doors from a mobile app.

What happens to an automatic door in a power outage?

Battery back-up is available for the Easy Roller 14 and HIRO and recommended for doors over 10 feet high. Pantheon operators keep their electronic limits through a power failure, and manual releases, levers or chain hoists let the door be opened by hand.

Does Janus have operators for rolling steel fire doors?

Yes. The LiftMaster FDC and FDCL are rolling steel fire door operators with time-delayed automatic closing, monitored battery back-up, auto-reset overload protection, UL listing and NEMA 1 enclosures.

Can an operator close the door automatically?

Yes. The LiftMaster MH has Integrated Time to Close, and the LiftMaster GH can be programmed to close the door after a set amount of time.

How do I order a door operator from Janus?

Contact your Janus sales representative or request a quote. Ordering the operator with the door lets Janus match the operator to the door series, drum size and opening size.
