Architecture and engineering support
With practically no footprint, and design flexibility
that permits both shaped hangars and an aesthetically
pleasing appearance, the Megadoor vertical lifting
fabric door is easy to incorporate in your design
process, whether for a new installation or a retrofit.
ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems’ skilled engineers
are ready to support you right from the start of the
consultation process, and can provide a wealth of
supporting data to expedite your work. The door’s
compact design and low weight on the building
structure/foundation make it easy to incorporate in
the design process, and simple and quick to install. Its
innovative design contributes not just to its long-term
reliability, but also to its flexibility and even re-usability
in temporary installations that require subsequent
dismantling.

Comfort and security in any conditions
The first Megadoor built in 1973 needed to accommodate
temperature differences of over 100°C in northern
Sweden’s winter weather, where outdoor temperatures
often drop to –30°C.
The innovative solution – and a key reason for our
global success – was a dual-layer fabric construction
supported by unique seals around the door that
minimize residual air infltration. Today, in addition
to promoting a comfortable working temperature,
the Megadoor fabric is also available in a translucent
quality that substantially increases the amount of
daylight within the hangar, without the negative
effects of direct sunlight. This allows technicians to
work under natural lighting conditions, as well as
contributing to energy cost savings during the day.

Reliable, safe operation
The simplicity of the Megadoor design and operation
contributes both to superb functionality and long-term
reliability.
With no springs or counterweights, and very few
moving parts, it requires practically no maintenance.
The door’s horizontal intermediate beams clamp
inner and outer faces of PVC-coated polyester fabric.
The door rides in weather-sealed vertical guides that
are attached to the building structure. The door’s
bottom sections are drawn upwards, and intermediate
sections stack successively. Wind load transfers to the
vertical guides, and the spacing of the intermediate
beams enables almost any wind load to be accommodated.
The patented safety arrestor locks the door
securely, both when closed and in the event of a belt
or motor malfunction.

Cost-effective hangar door solutions
Thanks to its unique design, the Megadoor vertical
lifting fabric door is fast and easy to operate.
These are excellent reasons to talk to Megadoor,
but not the only ones. The flexibility to design your
hangar around the air-craft it will serve, with
maximum space utilization, is equally important.
And, in the long run, the fact that a Megadoor solution
requires very little maintenance offers important
cumulative cost-savings. Nonetheless, our service
staff around the world are always ready to provide
professional preventive maintenance that guarantees
a long and productive life for your hangar doors.
