Built for the toughest industrial environments

Heavy industry and mining operations demand solutions that perform day after day in some of the world's harshest conditions. From steel mills and truck wash bays to processing plants and mining facilities, our doors are engineered to withstand extreme dust, dirt, wind, and heavy traffic while maintaining reliable, high-performance operation.

Designed with minimal moving parts and advanced safety features, our door systems deliver exceptional durability, reduced maintenance requirements, and long-term operational reliability. Whether you're accommodating large equipment, frequent vehicle movement, or oversized openings, our solutions provide the speed, performance, and dependability needed to keep critical operations moving.

 

To protect your most valuable assets – the people who work on site – we’ve included safety measures like a fail safe that reverses automatically in the case of any contact, and a continuous wind lock to guard against wind and debris. Our industry leading product warranties provide additional peace of mind and assure long-term operation.

With the ability to accommodate virtually any opening size and withstand demanding wind loads, ASSA ABLOY Hangar & Large Application Doors help maximize productivity, improve safety, and reduce downtime in the environments where performance matters most.
