Furthermore, we provide an overview of our company’s door installation services so that you can see what we have to offer!
Type of Hangar Doors
For the average person, hangar doors may seem like a topic that is limited to the aviation industry; but in reality, they are an integral part of many industries. There are a number of different hangar doors or swing doors available for aircraft hangars or any other type of hangar. These include:
– Vertical Lift Doors: This door is usually used as a larger door that can be opened from either side and require minimal space behind the building. The open side of the door lifts up into the roof to remain protected from dust and dirt.
– Swing Doors: Commonly found in agricultural buildings, this door is traditionally attached to hinges on one side and opens outward. We also offer swing doors for aircraft hangars.
– High Speed Hinge Doors: Similar to a vertical sliding door, a high-speed hinge door can open from either side providing a large opening with minimal space needed behind the building.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Vertical sliding doors are convenient because they can be opened on either side of the building. This is useful in areas where there is not a lot of space behind the building. The downside, however, is that this type of door can be difficult to open by hand. High speed hinge doors are also convenient, but they require more room than vertical sliding doors for opening outwards. Swing doors are advantageous because they can be used in agricultural buildings and agricultural land is usually not very expensive. Their disadvantage is that they need space on each side of the door so it doesn’t swing back sharply or get stuck when opening
Where do we come in?
The doors we install are designed to be bottom rolling with a top guided configuration. Options include uni-directional, bi-parting, individually operated, 3-way traveling group, and anchored group systems. With the Bottom Rolling system, there are also bumper-pick or cable-reeve opening and closing systems. Vehicle entry doors, remote/radio controls, and rough framed openings for personnel doors are all excellent applications for corporate, FBO, charter, and airline hangars. We work closely with architects, contractors, business owners, and other stakeholders, we can manufacture systems that meet specific and/or specialized needs, we also do retrofitting for doors to work well within the constraints of an existing structure. So, whether these are Aircraft Hangar Doors in United Arab Emirates or Aircraft Hangar Doors in Saudi Arabia or doors for your next big project we do them all.
