Custom Architectural Door Systems
Crown Doors has grown steadily into a consistent market leader for automated architectural, commercial, and residential door and window systems, employing pioneering hydraulic and electric designs, and high-quality materials and manufacturing. Founded upon the idea of utilizing hydraulic systems to create safe, simple, and refined vertical opening systems for the architectural market, Crown Doors completely changed the direction of the existing industry, gaining a reputation for continued innovation, beauty, and excellence, which drives the company to this day. Based in Plato, Minnesota, our products are manufactured to the highest levels of craftsmanship and shipped to customers throughout the United States and internationally. We provide visually stunning, custom designed systems for architectural, commercial, and residential applications. Our patented designs and use of narrow steel profiles offer greater visibility, unobstructed by the cables and straps used to operate similar systems.The use of hydraulics allows for remotely located operators, meaning the door system itself runs virtually silent, and surrounding structure and obstruction is kept to an absolute minimum. Through creative design and engineering excellence, we produce innovative, architectural automated doors and windows with an emphasis on ease of installation and safe, simple operation. Our factory-integrated glass support system allows for seamless integration of glass or other inserts, with thicknesses between 3/16 and 7/8. We maintain a state-of-the-art powder-coat facility, offering a full array of standard, non-standard, and custom colors. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our NFRC-certified products, which achieve air-infiltration ratings as low as 0.1 cfm per square-foot. With over two decades of experience, we continue to redefine how people interact with the spaces around them.

Hydraulic Bi-Fold Systems
The patented SST-II Hydraulic Bi-Folding System opens vertically, allowing smooth, quiet access between environments. Its hydraulic cylinders eliminate cables and straps, offering a clean panel face and remote power unit placement. The system integrates seamlessly with glass or other materials, providing unobstructed visibility and weather-tight seals. Ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial applications requiring premium automated access solutions.
Electric Bi-Fold Systems
The Electric Bi-Fold System provides a cost-effective alternative for smaller openings up to 8x6 feet. Using electric actuators instead of hydraulics, it maintains the same sleek design while eliminating auxiliary power units. This system offers secure closure with self-contained actuators, easy installation, and customizable controls, making it perfect for residential and light commercial applications requiring automated vertical access solutions.
Hydraulic Single Swing Systems
The Hydraulic Single Swing System delivers the largest clear opening height available, ideal for industrial facilities and commercial storefronts. Its hydraulic operation allows remote power unit placement, customizable speeds, and flexible sizing up to 30x20 feet. The system combines durability with aesthetic appeal through narrow steel profiles and seamless glass integration, ensuring safe, reliable performance for high-traffic or oversized openings.
Hydraulic Vertical Lift Systems
The Hydraulic Vertical Lift System raises straight up within its frame, eliminating exterior and interior obstructions. Designed for counter-top applications to two-story atriums, it provides space-saving access without compromising aesthetics. The system features weather-tight seals, remote power units, and customizable cladding options, making it ideal for commercial buildings requiring unobstructed floor space and architectural elegance.
Powder Coat Finishes
Our state-of-the-art powder-coat facility provides durable, high-quality finishes in standard, non-standard, and custom colors. This process ensures long-lasting protection against wear and corrosion while maintaining aesthetic flexibility. Available for all systems, including stainless steel options for coastal or poolside environments, our finishes enhance both functionality and visual appeal for any architectural project.
