Streamlined, intuitive site design offers product selection assistance, AutoCAD drawing generation, and specification documentation without requiring an account
With the industry shifting toward more distinctive architectural styles, the platform provides a robust, user-friendly resource that enables architects to explore and visualize various materials, finishes, and configurations…”— Paul Smith, Director of Architectural PromotionMASON, OH, UNITED STATES, September 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Clopay Corporation, a leading provider of closure solutions for commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and retail sectors, has relaunched ArchitectDoorHelp.com, its dedicated online hub for architects and design professionals, featuring a fresh layout and improved navigation. The upgraded site streamlines the specification process for Clopay, Cornell, and Cookson brand doors through a product selection tool, an on-demand custom AutoCAD drawing generator for rolling doors, and supporting code and listing documentation—all accessible without creating an account or logging in.
“The redesign was shaped by the evolving needs of our architectural clients and was directly shaped by their input,” said Paul Smith, director of architectural promotion at Clopay Corporation. “By investing in this digital resource, Clopay reinforces its role as a dependable partner for architects and the wider design community.”
The ArchitectDoorHelp.com platform assists architects in discovering, tailoring, and specifying Clopay Corporation’s full range of offerings, including those under the Clopay, Cornell, and Cookson names. Visitors can begin with four distinct entry points:
Product Selector Tool: Guides users through straightforward questions—such as building type (e.g., warehouse, retail, healthcare), insulation needs, and fire or smoke code requirements—to generate a curated list of suitable products for the project’s needs.
Drawing Generator Tool: Produces on-demand AutoCAD drawings that detail precise clearances for specified door dimensions, along with mounting and wall details. Users choose a door category (e.g., rolling door, fire-rated door, security grille), enter the opening height and width, and specify parameters like curtain type, guide mounts, wall construction, and operation method to generate the drawing.
Contact Your Local Rep: Connects architects with the nearest Clopay representative via a simple drop-down menu organized by state.
Self-Service Tools: Offers a suite of additional resources to support door selection and specification, including: the Drawing Generator Tool, Codes & Listings, BIM Objects, Download Library, Contact Us, Online CEUs, and Commercial and Residential Windcode Calculators. Online CEUs, for instance, link directly to ClopayED, the company’s e-learning platform that provides continuing education credits (CEUs) for architects, which can be applied toward American Institute of Architects credentials.
As an additional advantage, ArchitectDoorHelp.com enables architects to download and customize product specifications without the need to register, share contact details, or sign in.
“As the market moves toward more creative and unique designs, this platform gives architects a powerful, intuitive way to experiment with different materials, finishes, and layouts while accessing all necessary documentation in one spot,” said Smith.
“Our collaboration with the architectural community has been key to developing tools like these that not only guarantee technical precision in specifications but also bridge creativity and design with products that meet an aesthetic vision.”
