Good afternoon, I am a contractor and detailer with a Building Company. I have a quick question regarding the door clear width. The stated door width on the final specs of the hydraulic door in question is 40'. The current distance between the inside flanges of the jamb columns is 40'2 1/4". So there is a 1-1/8" gap on either side of the clear distance. Is this acceptable, or do we need to adjust the columns to be exactly 40' clear? Any help you can give would be most appreciated. Thanks, Sarah.

We have been contracted to build a pole barn and  the customer is requesting a price on the sizes listed below. It would be going on a 60x80x20' or 22' pole building. The customer states he wants a one-piece hydraulic door and needs clearance a minimum of 18' when the door is open. Since it would be going on a pole building, is there anything specific Schweiss Doors can tell me about design for the opening to accommodate the door? I'm available Monday thru Friday from 8-4 at the phone number listed or thru email. Thank you for your help and time.

I'm working on a residential project for a client, who wants to build a backyard garage, which also functions as an entertaining space - like a garden pavilion. The walls will be steel-framed glass, and I think that a vertical bifold door might work well for us if we can integrate it with the same framing system and glazing. The door overall size is 4.8m wide, and around 2.8m tall. I would like to get some CAD details of the system, in particular structural requirements, side and top clearances, etc. If there's a local sales rep a meeting would be very useful. Thanks, Sebastian B.

Hello, I am a recent architecture graduate. I am currently doing some contract work in British Columbia and I am very interested in using at least one of your door. I am looking for 10'x10'.

My contractor loves Schweiss doors. Please quote a bi-fold door with columns and truss to support a 60' x 28' clear. bi fold door. the metal building has sliders in it now. tying the truss back into the existing building will not be a problem we can do that but the building is not tall enough to fit the bi-hold door in so the truss will have to above the roof line.

I am designing a residence in Connecticut and on Long Island Sound. It must be raised 8' from grade to allow storm water to flow through to meet code. We can use an "open" panel that allows water to flow but I am looking at a horizontal hydraulic powered set of doors made from horizontal slats of iPe so the panels can lift up under the house to be out of the way and also for access to park cars under the structure. I would like to send you the current drawings as work in progress and discuss how you might help our contracting business in fabricating these hydraulic doors.

I am a project manager/designer with a OH construction/development firm and we are currently in the schematic design phase of a new residential project in Los Angeles and are considering incorporation of an entirely hydraulic operable wall of windows into our design and think that your Schweiss Hydraulic Designer Door system may suit our needs. Please provide a cost estimate for eight hydraulic tilt up glass doors that would be roughly 13' wide and 7' tall each. We would like to incorporate a separately operative swing door into two of them. Additionally, as these doors would be acting as the wall of a residential interior space, we would need these hydraulic doors to be weathertight. Lastly, we will be building the building as modular units built in a factory that will be shipped to the site and installed via crane. Does your system have to be installed by Schweiss representatives? If so, would your crew be willing to complete the install in the modular factory? 

36

Constructing a new 60x60 building w/21' peak, OK contractor is looking at 3 18' doors. I would like full opening. Not sure if bifold would open enough but your hydraulic door looks interesting. I was going to look at sliding doors, but found out what a pain they can be. Let me know what you might have for my situation and if you can cost it out with a remote openers.

37

You say: The building contractor, manufacturer or owner is responsible to ensure that the structural design is capable of handling all imposed loads that the door exerts to your door header, wall and building. It's really no problem, I know from past bifold and hydraulic door orders that Schweiss Doors can provide you with easy-to-read spec sheets showing all the forces and building header requirements. I need to quote a building to fabricate for our customer in Benton KS. The Schweiss spec sheet provided us for the 46'x15' hydraulic door by the owner, with a total dead weight of 3499 lbs. includes all information on "the forces and building header requirements". Thank you.

38

Hi I am in Australia, I need 3 doors for 2 hangar projects. Each door is 20m wide x 6m high. I am looking at your one piece hydraulic lift door.

I am a builder and would be interested in becoming an agent in Australia for your hydraulic and bifold straplift doors if you would be interested in discussing.
