Ladies and Gentlemen, I am thinking about building a hanger at Harrisburg, PA airport. The door is very important for obvious reasons, and I was hoping I could get some cost information for a hanger approx. 50' x 50' in size. I assume the door would be slightly smaller, say 46' wide. The height is for a fairly light GA airplane (I currently have an A36 Bonanza), but I would like to build large enough for a light twin or Piper Malibu. I like the Schweiss electric bi-fold doors I've used in the past with motor at bottom using the straps. Is this enough information to provide a budget price? Could I also get an estimate of installing the door to a pre-engineered building.

I desire to build an aircraft hangar from a pole barn type construction in Northwest Alaska. We experience gale force winds, and artic temps. I am envisioning a 48'x40' barn, with your door being in the 48' gable end. The door would have to be tall enough to give ten feet of clearance.

I would appreciate any information that you can provide to help with the success of this project.

I need some information about Schweiss bifold and hydraulic doors. We have an 18 x 18 drive in door on one of our buildings that has failed. We cycle this door about 40 times per day for the winter months, and 4 time a day during summer months. Would your hangar doors be suitable for this application? If so any recommendations and cost you could supply would be helpful. He is a pilot and has seen your doors advertized and we have discussed their use here several times, now we have a need. Thanks

Dear Sir: We have now joined a long line of previous, now out of business, competitor door purchasers that have had a complete door failure and have no recourse. The business has declared bankruptcy. Our 70'x20'clear height hydraulic door failed last night. No one was injured and no aircraft was damaged. Which of your products would you recommend we replace this failed door with? Schweiss Bi-fold or hydraulic? My employer recently purchased a bi-fold door that is framed and sits outside the building to retain the opening we needed. They also changed from cables to straps to open their hangar at the local airport. Can you send a rough estimate of cost for a Schweiss bi-fold and hydraulic lift door so we have an idea of what the cost could be to repair our problem and make our hangar useful as soon as possible? Thank you 

43

To whom it may concern, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to GATVONLINE, a half hour long web based Aviation Show that can be viewed 24/7 via our web site which also includes Flying Resources, Flight Planning, Sponsors Links, Events, etc. The first episode is in production now and should air starting in mid January. You can visit the site now and watch the shows intro on the home page. Each episode will have three features with a wide variety of aviation topics including aircraft reviews, after market modifications, flying clubs, cross country destinations, training and weekly safety tips, just to name a few. One of the main focuses of the show will be to bring new people into the aviation community. The response that I have received so far from the aviation industry has been overwhelming, clearly most people feel that there is a need out there for this type of programming and want to be involved. Please take the time to view the site and the show's intro. If you have the desire to be involved with us on an on going basis or if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

I am considering building a hangar and am considering my door options. The building options I am considering are 75X75 or 60X60 with a 16-17' door height. I had a Schweiss door in a hangar I rented previously and was happy with it. Right now I am trying to budget properly and compare prices between your door and another door. I want to make sure I have the height available to clear a King Air tail if necessary.

Hi, DMS is the west coast dealer for Behlen buildings, and currently we have two clients for hangars.

Can you give me a ballpark figure so that i can get some working numbers to the client. Thank you, Mark T.
