Descriptions of aircraft hangar door types and photographs from some of our hangar door projects.
The bi-parting configuration of the bottom rolling hangar doors is such that the door opens from the middle and can have anywhere from one section to numerous door sections on each side. Each leading door section has an electric motor drive system. The non-powered door sections are interconnected to the leading door section. When open, the door sections stack in the two side corners of the hangar.
Instead of the door sections opening to each side like the bi-parting system, the unidirectional hangar door system opens in just one direction, either to the left or to the right. The leading door section is motor operated.
Each door section is independently motor operated.

A floor mounted motor/operator assists in moving the counterweight and door up and down.
