Bifold aircraft hangar doors are made of two panels that fold open vertically, guided by a track system. Though made to endure heavy use and harsh weather conditions, bi-folding doors can experience major downtime if not well maintained or if mechanical and operational issues aren’t addressed in a timely manner.
Bifold Hangar Doors
Vortex offers bifold hangar door repair, replacement and new installation solutions in applicable openings.
By inspecting and troubleshooting critical parts, Vortex service teams help ensure your bifold hangar doors perform reliably, with minimal downtime. There are virtually no maintenance issues our teams can’t respond to and resolve, including:
- Cable and Strap Replacement and Retrofits. Frayed cables and straps work in conjunction with hinges, pulleys, drums, and motors to control the movement of the doors. Vortex inspectors assess cable and strap systems in order to replace worn, corroded, or damaged parts, or to upgrade systems with newer, high-strength materials.
- Damaged or Worn Weatherseals. Weatherstripping seals gaps around your door, preventing dirt, debris, pests, and outside elements from infiltrating your building, damaging your assets, and interfering with climate systems. Without preventative maintenance, these seals degrade over time, which can result in leaks, infestations, and rising energy costs.
- Track Issues. Greasy, grimy buildup impedes movement of rollers, preventing doors from sliding open and shut without difficulty. Periodic cleaning keeps tracks clear and free of obstructions.
- Mechanical Problems. If your door is motorized, the gears and wiring need to be tested regularly throughout the year to prevent malfunctions and remain in good working condition.
