Unique Doors
As you may have guessed, in order to maintain an aircraft hangar door, it requires an expertise that is different than just a normal door repairman. It requires technicians that can handle the mechanical parts, the motors, and the all the other elements necessary that go into maintaining such a large size door. And it requires a technician that can handle the many types of aircraft doors, such as the Bi-Folding Hangar Doors, Horizontal Sliding Doors, and a variety of Hangar Canopy Doors.
Preventive Maintenance
It is important to keep in mind that preventive maintenance is often much cheaper than having to regularly re-install new hangar doors. And more importantly, this helps keep the doors safe for those who work in the vicinity. Part of the issue is that the doors are so large that they cannot function if they are even in the slightest state of disrepair. Having a door in disrepair means that parts of it can become dislodged during storms and cause serious injuries. So it goes without saying that safety is important reason to keep your doors maintained regularly.
