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. Today we’re going to focus on horizontal bottom rolling door designs which require no pocket space.
Option 1: “Dual Slide” Hangar Door Configuration
The least expensive option and for good reason. The panels can be stacked behind one another in a stationary position, but they cannot be moved as a stacked group.
They can only move the same way that a train or slinky operates, which makes door operation a time consuming task on wide openings.
Option 2: “Floating Group” Configuration
(Also known as stacking group)
The panels can be stacked behind one another and moved in a stacking group. This is the fastest and most efficient way to operate your hangar door.
