Aviation

Safety is the number one priority when sending planes – and passengers - up into the air. Everything in an airport has to support that, including your entrance points. Our solutions will make all movement turbulence-free.

Creating access to open doors for open skies

Airports are unique locations, where there’s no room for even the slightest mistake. With years of experience we know exactly what’s needed to make sure you’re always ready for take-off.

With hundreds of flights every day, airports are incredibly busy. Yet underneath the surface, the key principle is safety. In a space where nothing can go wrong, you need access solutions that are always reliable.

This might mean hi-tech security such as key cards that make sure workers have instant access to the places they need to, while keeping out those who might be a hazard. Or it might be exterior doors that can withstand environmental issues like high wind loads. In every situation, we can recommend the precise answer to keep you on your intended flight path.

Retrofit hangar entrances

Choose our entrance solutions to bring your older hangar doors into the modern age. That includes adding extensions to the front of your hangars to accommodate larger aircraft. Our high-quality solutions always meet all FAA and EASA safety regulations. Whether you need support incorporating doors into your design process, a retrofit, or a completely new installation, our skilled engineers are here to help.
