Extreme® 300 Series High Performance Grille
Model #EPG324 and EPG324BYohn Property Management is based in York, Pennsylvania, and manages a portfolio of commercial and residential properties. These range from prestigious corporate facilities and loft style open plan offices to award winning apartment rentals, located in repurposed school houses, hotels, mills, and factories.
Their Monarch Mills condominium location needed a much more durable solution for the parking garage. Matt Argabright, Facility Manager at Yohn Property Management stated, "The existing grilles we had installed prior could not stand up to the cycle usage, and they needed a lot of maintenance." He also voiced security concerns about the speed of the old grilles, allowing unauthorized pedestrians to slip in unnoticed before the grille could close.
Since the grille was cycling (opening and closing) many times each day, we recommended the Extreme Performance 324 grille, which has a cycle life 6 times more than a standard grille, and has no maintenance or replacement parts up to 300,000 cycles. The grille also opens 3 times as fast as a regular grill, increasing security.
"Cornell's Extreme Performance 324 grille is the right product, far superior to the other grilles we had in this opening before. We are really happy with the performance and will definitely purchase this product going forward, when the next opportunity arises." Argabright concluded.
