In Aircraft Manufacturing, the door is an integral part of the production process, due to the critical need for the door to be reliably opened on demand. Most facilities are generally constructed with multiple bays which limits the effectiveness of conventional sliding hangar doors which require considerable unusable space. Additionally, conventional sliding doors do not provide a tight closure, allowing for bird infestation and air infiltration, with resulting energy loss and unpleasant working atmosphere. In Northern ice and snow climates, the snow and ice build-up in the track of traditional doors renders the track system difficult to clean and operate. Under these conditions, sometimes a special heating system to keep the track warm and operable is installed adding considerable operational costs.

All Megadoors are specifically engineered for the particular application being considered, and are installed and maintained by local firms who specialize in servicing the Aircraft Manufacturing 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 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. The tightness allows for a climate controlled environment to be maintained and dramatically reduces air and dust infiltration to improve the working environment, which is especially critical in aircraft paint operations. The extremely simple and reliable design reduces the need for costly repairs and down time, drastically reduces problems with birds in hangars, and provides life-cycle energy cost savings. And, since there is no track with the vertical lifting Megadoor, ice and snow problems disappear.
