most innovative and up-to-date safety
features. This offers extra protection,
especially when opening and closing
the door. Many manufactured doors
have safety ratings that consider the
building size and the door's weight to
determine if the door has sufficient
strength to operate efficiently and
safely. For example, if a door has a
rating of 5 to 1, this means that the
cables and straps opening the door
can withstand stress that is five times
greater than the weight of the door.
Beyond the door itself, locking systems,
safety sensor technology and how the
door lifts are all important safety
features to consider when looking to
replace your hangar door.
Locking and Sensor
Technology
Many doors offer latch locking systems
with safety switches that help prevent
the door from opening or closing until
it's unlocked. When an operator tries
to manually open a locked door, it can
cause strain and unnecessary damage to
the door that can often lead to expensive
repair. A single latch system with a safety
switch improves usability by unlocking
the door without going to each side of
the door to unlock the jamb locks.
Replacement doors also offer safety
sensor technology with photo eyes to
ensure nothing is in the way as the door
closes. Photo eyes extend a sensor a few
inches from the floor, and if something
obstructs the path of the sensor,
the door identifies it and stops. The
safety sensor technology installed on
the bottom edge of the door can also
detect if something is in its way, then
stops or reverses its motion.
Enhanced Lifting
System
Many older doors have survived with
outdated operating systems that have
prevented the door from working its
best. A nylon strap system is a nice
upgrade that allows doors to open more
smoothly to improve productivity and
safety while preventing costly maintenance
checkups.
Similar to a cable system, the nylon
straps wrap around the drum and hoist
the weight of the door upward. This
system is safer because the nylon straps

have a rated breaking strength much
higher than that of cables. Adding nylon
straps is beneficial because they won't
require as much maintenance time or
exude excessive noise during operation,
and the straps can be easy to replace if
an issue occurs.
