Since 1936, IDI has been designing, manufacturing, installing, and servicing high-performance doors and control systems for demanding environments. That legacy of reliability began with the very first door produced, which remarkably remains in operation today, a testament to the quality and engineering behind every system.
Bottom Rolling Doors continue that tradition, offering a proven solution for large aircraft hangars and industrial facilities where side wall space allows for lateral door travel. These systems are designed for smooth operation, long service life, and the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of aircraft sizes and facility requirements.
Byrne bottom rolling, top-guided hangar doors are specifically recommended for facilities with adequate side clearances. This configuration allows doors to move efficiently along a bottom track while being stabilized by a top guide system, ensuring consistent alignment and dependable performance even in large-span applications.
To accommodate unique aircraft configurations, additional features such as separate tail doors above the main door system can be incorporated. For hangars where aircraft may extend beyond the building envelope, custom apertures and associated closure doors can be specified, ensuring both operational functionality and environmental control.
Hangar environments often present challenging weather conditions, and IDI designs its Bottom Rolling Doors to perform reliably in all climates. Heated bottom rail systems are available to prevent ice buildup and ensure smooth operation in snow and freezing conditions.
Floating top-guide roller systems are engineered to accommodate natural building movement, including vertical roof deflection, without compromising door alignment. Captive roller designs further enhance safety and reliability by preventing disengagement from the track system during operation.
Each system is designed with advanced control integration, allowing for smooth, controlled operation while maintaining the highest standards of safety and reliability. From precision limit switches to fail-safe braking systems, every component is engineered to ensure consistent performance and immediate response in any operating condition. Redundant safety features and system monitoring further enhance protection, reducing risk while supporting uninterrupted daily operations.
With decades of experience from International Door, Inc., these control systems are built not only for performance, but for long-term dependability in mission-critical environments.
No two hangars are exactly alike, which is why Bottom Rolling Doors from IDI are fully customizable. From structural configurations to specialized operational requirements, each door system is engineered to meet the exact needs of your facility.
IDI’s engineering team works directly with clients to develop tailored solutions that align with aircraft specifications, building constraints, and operational demands. Whether you require unique opening configurations, environmental considerations, or specialized safety features, IDI delivers a system built specifically for your application.
While Bottom Rolling Doors are ideal when side clearance is available, alternative solutions such as canopy and vertical lift doors provide exceptional performance in space-restricted environments.
Canopy and vertical lift door systems are designed to deliver clear, unobstructed openings without requiring lateral space on either side of the hangar. These systems are often preferred where building constraints limit traditional door movement. In addition to maximizing usable space, they can also offer faster operational speeds compared to bottom-rolling systems, improving efficiency in high-demand environments.
