Personnel Door Frames for Airplane Hangar Doors
Personnel doors provide convenient or emergency egress from the hangar to the flight line and can be installed in a door leaf, or pocket space.
Your project is unique…
and it starts with professional design
Maybe you’re in a humid, tropical climate subject to Category 5 hurricanes. Perhaps you’re designing an aerospace facility with a 120-foot door height requirement. The last thing you want to do is shortcut the design process.
Personnel doors provide convenient or emergency egress from the hangar to the flight line and can be installed in a door leaf, or pocket space.
When designing or refurbishing a hangar door, it’s strongly advisable to include a drainage system on each side of the bottom tracks for rainwater to run off. Inadequate drainage means ASCE rail will corrode in stagnant rainwater.
How considerations such as the number of tracks, or number of door leaves and motors that will impact your building design, budget costs, impact the success or failure of the door when people begin using it day to day.

The beauty of a bottom rolling door is there’s so many different ways that they can operate. There’s a design to suit almost every set of circumstances.
Each electric motor is designed around the specifications of the hangar door, which ensures key performance attributes such as traction and horse power are met.
If you’re like most, you rarely pause to consider any impact the choice of door has on the functionality of the building. Colors, architectural detail and landscaping all contribute to a building…
