Bi-Fold Hangar Doors

Q: What types of aviation facilities typically use Bi-Fold Hangar Doors?

Bi-Fold Hangar Doors are widely used in: Private aviation hangars for single and twin-engine aircraft. Helicopter hangars, where fast access and smaller openings are common. General aviation facilities at regional airports. Medium-sized MRO hangars require secure, energy-efficient doors without the complexity of large-scale sliding systems.

Q: Are Bi-Fold Hangar Doors weatherproof?

Yes. These doors are designed with tight-sealing joints and insulation options that prevent wind, rain, and dust from entering the hangar. They are particularly effective in regions where climate control inside the hangar is important (e.g., facilities housing sensitive avionics, helicopters, or smaller aircraft). Optional insulation packages further enhance thermal efficiency, reducing HVAC costs.

Q: What kind of maintenance is required for Bi-Fold Hangar Doors?

Bi-Fold Doors require relatively low maintenance compared to larger telescopic or bottom rolling systems. Regular inspections focus on: Hinge and pivot points, which must be lubricated and checked for wear. Lift cables or straps, which should be inspected and replaced periodically. Seals and insulation, which should be checked for integrity. With proper care, Bi-Fold Doors can provide decades of reliable service in aviation hangars.

Q: How do Bi-Fold Hangar Doors compare with other hangar door systems?

Compared to Vertical Lift Fabric Doors, Bi-Fold systems are sturdier and provide better insulation but require more internal clearance. Compared to Telescopic Sliding Doors, they are more compact and cost-effective for smaller spans but cannot match the massive clear-span capability of telescopic systems. Compared to Bottom Rolling Doors, Bi-Fold systems are less suitable for very large hangars but are easier to maintain and operate for small to mid-sized aviation applications.
