Building a hangar this spring. I've read through the archives on doors. I'm looking for manual operation, so that rules out the hydraulic ones and bifolds. I've also seen in person a number of the Horton Stack door installations, and like them. Another option is the Fold-Tite stacking door, which is similar to Horton but hung rather than rolling on tracks. It is also aluminum, which is lighter weight. I have not seen a Fold-Tite in person so am looking for any feedback on how well they work. In particular:
Do they seal pretty well?
Any issues with the guide rollers protruding from the floor? I know they are potentially removable but would rather not have to remove them unless necessary.
How easy is it to close the door in windy conditions? In particular how easy is it to get the door aligned onto the floor guide rollers as you are closing the door?
Any other comments, please feel free to add or pm/email me.
Thanks,
Greg
