Protect Your Most Valuable Assets
The most common use for hangar doors is to protect aircraft and equipment within the hangar. A faulty or inoperable hangar door could result in decreased security for your aircraft and other items kept inside the hangar.
Since hangar doors are often very large, it’s important that all of the seals are maintained and in good condition to avoid dust and debris from coming into the hangar to ensure a clean environment for the aircraft and equipment.
Keeping People Safe
In order to keep you, your employees and customers safe, it is imperative to ensure your hangar doors are regularly maintained and repaired. A faulty hangar door could result in damage to the aircraft and security issues.
Improper installation or maintenance of your hangar doors can result in damage to the doors themselves, or damage to the property within or around the hangar.
Regular inspections are necessary to provide peace of mind and confidence that you are creating a safe working environment. Semi-annual or annual inspections allow technicians to clean and lubricate mechanical components, protect against rust, and extend the life of critical operational mechanisms.
Our technicians examine every element of the door system, such as the panels, rollers, cables, straps, safety devices, motor operators, and weather seals. In the event of an emergency, our technicians are on call to diagnose and repair problems to get your hangar door working safely again so you can operate your business.
Inspection
Annual inspections lower the lifetime cost of ownership and can extend the lifespan of the door system.
Preventative Maintenance
Proactively check and service critical parts before they break and result in significant downtime.
Retrofit Automation
Retrofit automation to improve ergonomics and optimize the operation of hangar doors.
Refurbishment
Salvage custom or hard to find parts to manufacturer standards.
Repair
Repair worn and damaged parts to get your door back into operating mode.
Parts Replacement
Upgrade or replace custom or hard to find parts to manufacturer standards.
While general wear and tear over time is inevitable, regular maintenance can help prevent costly emergency repairs. Our technicians are trained on all aspects of hangar door systems, including tracks, rollers, safety devices, locks, and electrical components.
Maintenance includes inspecting all aspects of the hangar doors. This means ensuring that all weather-stripping and seals are in good condition to make sure that dust, dirt and debris do not enter your hangar.
Preventative maintenance helps in catching repairs early, so you can make certain your assets and property remain protected. We help ensure your doors are safe, secure, and that all parts are tested and calibrated for easy operation to keep you flying with confidence!
Replacing a door can at times be more effective than repairing it. Our technicians offer solutions on the best options to help save you time and money.
A variety of factors may qualify your hangar doors for repair including weather and regular wear and tear. We can help determine which parts can be salvaged and which should be replaced in order to improve safety and reliability. Our experience allows us to source most parts for any model, regardless of its age or construction. Our proficiency extends to all aspects of airplane hangar doors, including straps, safety edges, lock arms, and automated motors.
