One of the oldest and largest suppliers of double-acting impact traffic doors, Chase Doors began as a manufacturer of insulated walk-in cooler and specialty refrigeration equipment in 1932. Since then, Chase Doors has become the global leader and most recognized manufacturer of high-quality, made-to-order specialty door systems, including service doors, flexible doors, strip doors, postal and security doors, corrosion-resistant doors, and sliding doors used in various industrial and commercial settings. With revenue evenly distributed across new construction, remodeling and replacement, and maintenance, Chase Doors serves a wide array of end markets, including retail, industrial, pharmaceutical, food processing, distribution, postal, and institutional.

Backed by Sentinel, Chase Doors made two add-on acquisitions, more than doubled its revenue, and more than tripled its profits. In 2014, after achieving substantially all of our investment objectives, we sold Chase Doors to another private equity firm.
