The FireStar® 540 and 550 are Wayne Dalton's fire-rated counter shutters — delivering certified fire protection in the compact profile required for service windows, concession stands, cafeteria pass-throughs, and other counter-width openings.

Certified and labeled fire protection meeting NFPA 80 requirements for openings in walls, floors, and ceilings — providing the code-required fire containment for counter-width openings in schools, hospitals, and food service facilities

Non-tension release reset — after a drop event or drop test, simply open the door to reset the mechanism; no tools required, no spring tension adjustment, no cable rerouting; any staff member can restore the shutter to operational status

Tool-free drop-test capability — supports regular drop-testing as required by NFPA 80 without the expense of calling a service technician; reduces the long-term compliance cost of owning and maintaining a fire-rated counter shutter

Lift-up operation — counter shutters operate by lifting from the bottom rather than rolling from overhead, making them the correct mechanism for counter-width service window applications where traditional overhead coiling would interfere with counter equipment

Compact design with minimal header space requirement — fits in tight header conditions typical of cafeteria service lines, school concession windows, and hospital pharmacy pass-throughs where header clearance is limited

Very quiet and smooth operation — important in hospital, school, and hospitality environments where mechanical noise is disruptive to daily operations

Pleasing appearance meeting the aesthetic demands of customer-facing service applications — suitable for schools, restaurants, stadiums, and retail environments where the shutter is visible to the public

The FireStar® 540 and 550 are specified for fire-rated counter-width openings in public facilities, food service environments, and any application where a service window or pass-through requires certified fire protection.

Fire Rated Counter Shutters Tulsa & OKC

DOORTEC's Tulsa location serves the greater Tulsa metro with the Wayne Dalton FireStar® counter shutter line including the Models 540 and 550. Tulsa's public schools, hospital system, and arena and stadium concession infrastructure all include counter-width fire-rated shutter applications where the FireStar® design's simplified testing and reset capability is a meaningful operational advantage.

For Tulsa and Oklahoma City projects comparing the 540/550 (counter shutter) against the Model 570 (integral frame counter shutter), the key difference is the frame — the 570 is supplied as a complete assembly with an all-steel integral frame, while the 540/550 are specified to fit within an existing or separately supplied frame.
