This service center in Brunswick Georgia has been operational since 2015. A 110,000 sqft pre engineered metal building with enough space to accommodate a variety of Gulfstream’s large cabin aircraft.
The finished project brought more than sixty jobs to the region and a further forty were added later.
This will compliment an existing maintenance facility and completions center and remains one of five Gulfstream factory service centers in the U.S.
AeroDoor provided the complete design, fabrication and installation of two hangar doors, closely followed by onsite owner training. In the period since completion AeroDoor has completed several minor service calls using our own field service division.
Each of the two hangar doors consists of 4 door leaves and spans 235ft wide by 28ft high. Each door leaf has it’s own motor and control panel which allows each to be moved independently. When the four-door leaves are stacked behind one another there is a 176ft of clear opening for aircraft to maneuver in or out.
The door leaves move on 18-inch flame hardened wheels, across a 60lb ASCE rail embedded in the concrete. AeroDoor provided and installed the leveling angle and ASCE rail as part of a broader installation scope.
The speed at which the door leaves move is adjustable, and the electrical package for each door leaf was prescribed with internal and external controls.
The overhead trolley conductor bar provides power from the building. Some door leaves were designed to include a framed opening for a 3070 walk door.
This sliding door included up to 5-years manufacturer warranty and will have a lifetime of service and support options that are provided by AeroDoor.

What do we include in our Airplane hangar door installation scope?
Installation of our hangar doors is always done by AeroDoor employees. We do not subcontract. AeroDoor are going to supply the anchor bolts, leveling angles and the ASCE rail. We will ship you the anchor bolts with a plan of where they need to be set. The setting is done by others. Once they are set AeroDoor will come out a lay the leveling angle, and the ASCE rail. You are then responsible for the final pour of concrete. Once the Airplane Hangar has been erected and the roof is completely finished, then we will come out and hang the top guide rails. We will also assemble the door leaves on the ground and hang them. On our third step we will install all the motors, the control panels, the SOOW cable, the overhead conductor bar and the conduit and wiring. We do not do conduit and low voltage wiring if it’s explosion proof. We will also install all the weather-seals and any sensing edges this door might have. The final step is owner training. This is when AeroDoor and the client walk through the door. We will explain system operation maintenance and inspections, how to troubleshoot, warranty and we will answer any final questions. Always refer to your AeroDoor quote or contract for installation scope of work.
