FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • How long does hangar door repair take?

    Most hangar door repairs are completed within one day. Simple issues like cable replacement or limit switch adjustments often take just a few hours, while complex hydraulic repairs may require a full day.

  • What causes bifold hangar doors to fail?

    Common causes include frayed lift straps, broken cables, motor malfunctions, and misaligned tracks. Most failures develop gradually over time, often starting with slow or uneven door operation before complete breakdown.

  • Do you repair hydraulic hangar door leaks?

    Yes, we repair hydraulic leaks by replacing worn cylinder seals, fixing pump issues, and addressing pressure problems. Hydraulic repairs restore smooth door operation and prevent further system damage from contaminated fluid.

  • When should I replace my hangar door?

    Consider replacement when repair costs exceed 60% of a new door's value, or when structural damage compromises safety. Doors over 20 years old with recurring issues often benefit from complete replacement.

  • Can you install custom-sized hangar doors?

    Absolutely. We install custom bifold and hydraulic doors to fit any opening size. Our Schweiss authorization ensures proper engineering and installation for non-standard dimensions and specialized requirements.

  • Why won't my hangar door open fully?

    Incomplete opening usually stems from cable tension issues, hydraulic pressure loss, or limit switch problems. Track misalignment and motor strain can also prevent full travel. Professional diagnosis identifies the exact cause.

  • How often should hangar doors be serviced?

    Annual maintenance prevents most major failures. High-use doors benefit from semi-annual service including cable inspection, hydraulic fluid checks, and track lubrication. Regular maintenance extends door life significantly.
