About the Coleman Family of Businesses and Services

Coleman SideSlider

The Coleman family has been designing, building and operating facilities along the Gulf Coast, just outside of New Orleans, for more than a decade. Over the years, They have purchased thousands of roll-up doors from manufacturers, but grew increasingly more frustrated with their design.

The Colemans knew the springs, which require regular maintenance to operate smoothly, were the weak link in the roll-up door design, so he urged manufacturers to engineer them differently—without springs. “After a while, I gave up asking manufacturers and decided to take it upon myself to create a solution and offer a better choice.”

The Colemans sat down with pen and paper and began drawing the sliding door. They gave sketches to their Dependable Storage Services crew, who built a prototype. “They built it, we tweaked it, made it simpler and lighter,” they said. To make a long story short, the Colemans recently installed 506 new Coleman SideSlider doors in their Gulfport facility. They are a huge success.

The Coleman SideSlider can be inexpensively retrofitted into existing buildings and are compliant with ADA requirements.”This is a quiet, smooth sliding door with only two moving parts that never wear out,” the Colemans say.

“The business of self-storage is highly competitive,” they add. “If someone builds a facility right next door that’s better than ours, we could be out of business in six months. These new doors allow facilities to remain competitive and on the cutting edge.”

The Coleman SideSlider doors are enormously attractive to clients who, along with the Colemans, are “Slide’n & Glide’n” and no longer “Bendin' & Pullin'”
