Hangar Door Types
We think
your doors should be full width, though you can choose
lesser openings. If you need less than the full width at
any time, choose type 1 or 2. If you need the full width
open, choose 3. If there is space for outriggers only to
one side, choose 4. If you need more height at the
centre choose type 5 (though it is better to make the
whole opening higher). If you need a tailgate with
crossover doors type 6, or one-side outrigger doors type
7, this is possible though more difficult. If there is
no space for outriggers but you need full width opening
choose type 8.
Choose Electrically Operated
(with manual back-up) or Manually
Operated (Manual is recommended
for smaller doors and places where the electrical supply
is not very reliable).
