This door system provides a weather-tight seal and maintains a quick, yet stable motion. Get maximum access for your hangar with minimal side room requirements, all with the benefit of long-lasting dependability.

The one piece Tip-Up Canopy hangar door system has multiple wire rope pick-up points attached to the front of the door framing that are run to the counterweight and floor mounted operator assembly. The wire rope provided has a minimum safety factor of 5:1 at each of the pick-up points.

Tip-Up doors arrive to your facility complete including the side tracks, curved top tracks, the operating hardware, pre-wired electrical controls, wire rope pick-up brackets, the automatic sill locks, side and top roller assemblies.

This door system is shop fabricated in modular assemblies to minimize field installation costs.

Tip-Up Canopy doors clear an opening at a quick rate of speed. This hangar door system is available in up to 130’W x 32’H.

• 120’ x 30’ Tip-Up Door = 55 Seconds to Open
• 75’ x 20’ Tip-Up Door = 38 Seconds to Open

The high-speed operation of the Tip-Up door minimizes heating and cooling losses and reduces waiting time, increasing productivity and energy efficiency.

The opening vertical rise movement is followed by a simultaneous tilting and rising motion to the horizontal full open position, with the bottom portion of the door projecting outside to form a canopy.

The Aperture Door system is designed to fit and meet your specific application. Fixed, manual and automatic adjusting panels are available. Flexibility ensures the perfect fit all the time, every time.

Rotating aperture door panels allows up to three different aircraft to use the same hangar facility. The rotating aperture door (counterweighted) adjusts up, down and side to side providing the perfect seal at each fuselage profile. The closure door seals off the opening when the aperture door is not required.

Much like Door Engineering’s other products, the aperture door system has a solid reputation and exemplifies excellence. A valuable benefit of this system is that it is power operated. The pressure-sensing panels automatically adjust to the fuselage’s position. The ease of operation is amazing. The free-floating, counterweighted panels move with the push of a finger. Designed for wind load and energy conservation requirements, this system also demonstrates impressive strength.

Typical designs include a hinged upward acting swing door for passage of the bridge crane and swinging or bottom rolling load doors below. Craneway Doors can be manufactured in sizes up to 125’ W x 30+’ H. Flexibility is offered in the sliding material choice used to cover the door section.

Most apparent in design is Door Engineering’s capability to provide a custom fit around the crane rail. This product is fabricated from structural steel sections and cold-formed steel girts. The heavy-duty cables and double drive operator chains increase safety when the top door section is lifted. An automatic magnetic brake holds the door in open position, and the automatic latching lock arms brace the door when closed. The panels are notched around the crane rails and include adjustable seals to effectively seal to the building.

Whether your door systems are standard or unique, our technical sales team, skilled designers and certified installers will ensure quality from illustration to installation.

Door Engineering’s Vertical Lift door systems can be manufactured more than 100 feet wide and as tall as specified. There is flexibility in the sheeting materials, which is well suited for special architectural surface treatments.

Vertical Lift doors are available in single and multi-panel configurations depending on the door size and available headroom. These systems are well suited for harsh environments such as mining and heavy equipment facilities, as well as unique applications like blast doors, pool dividers, boat storage, convention centers, high security entrances and aircraft hangars.

This door system utilizes an overhead or floor mounted drive unit with counterweight support that vertically lifts and stacks the doors above the door opening. This can be operated with the counterweight or electrically. It is fabricated from structural steel shapes and cold formed steel girts and is factory sheeted with a minimum of 16-gauge flat sheeting.

Secure operating movement is guaranteed with a manual disconnect in power failure situations. Limit switches automatically stop the door in the fully open or fully closed position, although the doors may be stopped at any point of travel. This system, which is built strong for heavy duty applications, is also complete with safety edges, photo eyes, side tracks, door framing, side rollers or guides and wire rope and a pre-wired electrical control panel with a push button station.

Swing door systems are manufactured in a variety of sizes and materials to meet specific customer requirements. Systems are designed for maximum strength and durability and are available both in manual and power operated.

In addition to being blast resistant, our sliding doors can also be fire rated. This eliminates the need for an additional fire door on the opposite side of the wall.

Our most popular door system can also be engineering for blast loads. The doors were tested and passed to meet ICC-500 & FEMA 361 storm shelter requirements. This means they were engineered to meet a 250mph wind speed and missile impact requirements. An option of a power operated locking system that secures the door for extra protection is also available.

In 1994, Door Engineering began researching an add-on operating system that could fit the needs of a wide variety of bottom rolling and top hung door systems as well as a variety of sizes. Our sales and engineering departments designed the Door Driver 500, 750, 1000 and most recently the Door Driver Lite 500, 750 & 1000.

The Door Driver Operator series emulates the same outstanding versatility, design and performance as Door Engineering’s other product lines. The operators are electrically operated with factory presets that make installation fast and easy. Simply attach the Door Driver to the bottom of your door, plug it in, and it’s ready!

The fully active suspension system ensures the pneumatic tire provides excellent traction, allowing for 4-inches of vertical travel over debris or irregularities in the floor. It is powerful enough to open the largest sliding door. 115, 208/230 VAC, 60 Hz, single-phase brake motor.

The original 500-1000 models are fully enclosed with the back, sides and top of the enclosure made with 7-gauge steel for solid construction, while the door is 10-guage steel. Cabinet and steel components are factory primed. 41 5/8″ wide* by 43 3/4″ high x 14 1/2″ deep. The bottom of the operator is located 2 1/4″ above the floor. *Add 2-inches to each side for mounting brackets.

The Door Driver Lite model (shown left) has a simplified design and build compared to the other models. It is 36″ wide by 32″ high with a 10 1/2″ depth and is not fully enclosed. It also operates by using a joystick versus a switch. Same as the other models though, the Door Driver Lite has a solid construction and all factory-fabricated steel components are prime painted.

All the Door Driver Operator models are manufactured with a disengage mechanism for easy manual operation in power outage situations.

Additional options include:

• 208, 230 or 460 VAC, 60Hz, three-phase brake motor with control panel, pushbutton station, magnetic reversing starters, thermal overload protection, control circuit transformer, and NEMA 4 enclosure.
• Limit switches and cams
• Door section bumper pick-up system brackets.
