Doors must be highly reliable due to the critical need for the door to be opened because the door is an integral part of airline operations and on-time performance. Facilities generally constructed with multiple bays which limits the effectiveness of conventional sliding hangar doors requiring a large amount of unusable space. Conventional sliding doors have not been tight creating bird and air infiltration problems, resulting in energy loss and unpleasant working atmosphere. Ice and snow in Northern climates make the track system difficult to clean and operate due to the build-up of ice and snow. Requires a special heating system to keep the track warm and operable.

All Megadoors are specifically engineered for the particular application being considered, and are installed and maintained by local firms who specialize in servicing the Civilian Aviation industry. The Megadoor design engineering team provides proven expertise in working with designers and builders, resulting in creative consultative engineering solutions to "marry" the door with the structure. The simple, compact design and light weight of the Megadoor reduces the size and structural requirements of the functional area of the door, thus dramatically reducing the overall building costs, as well as costly repairs and down time. The tightness allows for a climate controlled environment to be maintained thus dramatically reducing air and dust infiltration to improve the working environment, drastically reducing problems with birds in hangars, and providing life-cycle energy cost savings. And, since there is no track with the vertical lifting Megadoor, ice and snow problems disappear.
