Aircraft Hangar Doors
We design and make HANGARS AND DOORS for the biggest aircraft flying today
 REIDsteel – Designers, manufacturers and erectors of Hangar Doors
Of an entire aircraft hangar building, it is probably the doors which are used most frequently. We have been designing, manufacturing and constructing aircraft hangar doors worldwide since 1920 both for our own and other hangars.
We design, make, ship, erect, change and clad airplane hangar doors of many types, in the UK and worldwide. Our Aircraft Doors can be manual or electric in a number of configurations. Our system allows any door to be operated without moving other doors, or they can all be opened together.
Fail safe
In our standard REIDsteel design, each door leaf has its own motor, independently driving the ground wheels via a reduction gear box. Each leaf has a fail safe opening and closure system which is controlled by a handheld cable so that the operator is well clear of the hangar doors. Electro-mechanical brakes are applied automatically; if the operator should let go of the cable or fall over, the door would immediately stop.
Enclosed conductor rails
 The hangar doors are of steel framed bolted construction and clad in materials similar to the wall cladding of the hangar, single skin or insulated. The vertical top rollers, two on each door, have sealed roller bearings and run between two full span steel guide rails. There is an enclosed conductor rail running the width of the door opening, and collection of electrical power is achieved by a four wheeled trolley with spring loaded power pick-ups on each door.
Easily pushed or towed if electricity supply fails
In the event of an electricity failure thedoors can be declutched and pushed manually or towed, because the low friction sealed ball-bearing system in the ground-wheel hubs make them so easy to move.
Manually operated doors designed to be pushed or towed can be provided where electricity is not available. In fact, they are strongly recommended where the electricity supply is unreliable; our doors open and shut so easily that power is a luxury, not a necessity.

Fabric Hangar Doors
Fabric doors can be useful where there is insufficient space for rolling doors. Each door can be raised separately from a control point inside the Airplane Hangar or by Radio Control. When the fabric doors are lifted, the legs can be pivoted up into the aircraft hangar to give full width opening.

Sliding folding doors are a useful alternative to Fabric Doors. We can offer doors by other suppliers or to your own specifications.
