Steel Sliding Hangar Doors can generally be classified into one of the following categories based upon the type of operation and door leaf configurations:

Aperture

Aperture door systems can be a unique enhancement to an aircraft hangar and are well suited for retrofit projects.

Use of aperture doors with a standard steel sliding door system provides an economical way to permit the service of aircraft larger than what a given hangar can normally accommodate. The aperture door includes a cushioned opening that seals against the aircraft fuselage at the point where the hangar door intersects with the aircraft leaving the tail of the aircraft outside the hangar. HDS can provide a custom aperture design to meet your specific project requirements, whether your need is for a single or for multiple fuselage profiles.

Bi-Parting

These doors usually have even numbers of leaves and meet at the center of the building opening. They operate by telescoping toward each side of the building opening, typically into door pocket structures located beyond the extents of the opening. The lead leaf of each door group contains the motor operating system and drives the remaining leaves in the group. The doors in a group can be interconnected with the drive leaf by a linear cable sheave system (known as an anchored group) or by a system of pick-up brackets.

Floating Group

Steel Sliding Hangar Doors are the most commonly used in the industry and provide the best value in the market. HDS’s steel sliding hangar doors are a dependable, economical and reliable choice for any pre-engineered or custom designed hangar facility. HDS’s focus is on quality and attention to detail that is unmatched in the hangar door industry.

These doors have leaves that are interconnected with each other, but are not anchored to the building. These doors can stack and unstack in either direction or move together as a group. These doors are usually interconnected with a linear cable sheave system and have motor operating systems in the door leaves at each end of the group.

Individually Motor Operated

With any number of self-powered leaves, these doors can move freely to any position in the opening without reference to the jambs or any other door leaf.

Unidirectional

A variable number of leaves travel in one direction to the open position. The motor operator is in the lead leaf (farthest from the pocket) and gathers the trailing leaves as it opens or closes. Advantage: Wind-defusing design features a smooth, horizontal rolling motion, allowing doors to precisely open to any width.
