30: ENGINEERED DOORS

1

Hello, I am an architect in NYC and looking for a bi-folding hanger gate system. Below are my questions and if you can help us and recommend a product line, it would be greatly appreciated. 1) we need 27ft width with 80ft height which means two panels (27'(w) x 40'(h) each ) will fold up. 2) we want minimal internal frames. If possible, stay away from truss bars either. The ideal case is only with a surrounding frame which is simple metal tubes. Not sure if the panel in our size will be twisted without internal frames. 3) we are thinking of covering the door panels with expanded metal. With the above points, if you can propose a product line or consult with realistic solutions, it would be greatly appreciated. Regards,

Hi there! I am working on a project at GE where we are looking for automated open/close solutions for a 2x5 m opening. Generally, we are looking to understand the maximum differential pressure one of your doors (bifold or hydraulically actuated) are designed to tolerate?

I am looking to add a detached garage to my home and I need a garage door large enough for my 5th wheel. Could I get an estimate for a 20 wide x 14 high bifold with straps door? My garage will be 30x50 and frame. Would that support a 20 foot wide door? I know it all comes down to engineering but I saw some videos on YouTube and that is how I cam across your company. Thanks so much

Hi, I am interested in any CAD details you are able to share of a standard bifold bottom drive door. I see on your website it is typically installed to an HSS header, but I am trying to determine details where it is installed to the exterior web of a W24x84 (we are short on vertical clearance). We would like the face of the door to be flush with the exterior face of the sheathing (which is only about 2-3" from the exterior-side flange of the W24x84).

Hi, I'm Pete at the U of MN West Central Research and Outreach Center in Morris. We are working on a portable solar panel trailer to be used in a pasture setting to provide shade for dairy cattle and generate electricity. The panels will need to fold to move the trailer from pasture to pasture. From our concept designs the structures to support the panels resemble a door frame for a bi-fold door. Would Schweiss be interested in looking at out our project and possibly designing and building these panel support structures? Thanks.

Good afternoon, Your door products have inspired me. But I'm a little stuck with my architect and finding a structural engineer who will do the work to add the structure for one of your doors to my plan for building approval. I have purchased a Curvco Quonset building and wish to install ..... a round roof building side wall and need a structural engineer to add it to the design approve it.. Can you suggest an engineering group who can add this to my build plan?

7

Do you have AutoCAD details available for the standard bifold door horizontal top drive?

8

I need to get quotes and submittals as soon as possible please. Need engineered doors for New pump station build where we need metal doors and hatches.

9

We are working on a project that has folding vertical windows. We are wondering if you could give us a price on your engineered bifold glass doors. The project is located in Johnson City, TN

Hello - My name is Meghan, and I am a structural engineer with MBJ in Minneapolis, MN. I am working on an airport hangar project in Cedar Rapids, IA that includes a bi-fold Liftstrap door with auto latches similar to the products you have available. This door is to be approximately 90' wide x 28' high (and my understanding is that the project is looking to obtain a door that is clad in polycarbonate panels on the exterior). I am curious what kind of loads this door imparts on the primary structural building frame to which it is attached, and, additionally, I am looking for deflection/serviceability criteria/limits for said structural building frame that we would need to adhere to in order for these doors to continue to work properly. Just trying to get a sense for loads and deflections so we can adequately design the building frame. Is there a specification that lists this criteria anywhere? If so, would you be able to share with me? If not, could you please provide me with the requested info as you are able? Thank you, Meghan

11

Good Afternoon We are currently in the process of drawing up plans for a PEMB that utilizes your Pre-engineered Liftstrap Bifold doors. Job number 26272 Columbia Municipal Airport. In the information I have, I see we need to provide an area for the latch to mount. But I'm not seeing an elevation for it, nor a thickness of the material. If someone could contact me to help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.

We were looking for more technical drawings to understand the door assembly into a steel framed building for 12 ft wide by 10 ft door openings for a school technology building using bi-fold doors. The doors are to have glazed panels. The rods are into opening on the eave side of the building between rigid frame (spaced off of frames and will utilize secondary columns and beams). We are looking to understand the jamb and head conditions for such a door, the depth of the fold at the head, how the glazed panels are incorporated into the door panel frame. Can you please provide such technical bifold engineered door information so we can complete our construction documents and specifications. It is best for us to communicate via email rather than phone due to our schedules. Thanks.

19

Please quote a 40x20 Clear Engineered Bifold Door installed. To be installed on a new Pre-Engineered Sukup Bldg. Please send me the specifications on the door so I can send to Sukup for designing the bldg. Need auto latches and safety edge.

I am working on a library project in Norman OK and would like to use a bi-folding strap door in the loading area. the design intent is to match the bifold door finish with the stainless steel wall finish and flush the door surface with the wall surface. I haven't used your engineered bifold auto latching door before and it seems much more reliable than the typical overhead door. The project is in DD phase and I need to talk to the structure engineer Can you send me information regarding the structural requirements? If you also send me the Schweiss CAD shop drawings it will be much helpful to understand how your door works and what the clearance around the door should be. Thanks and looking forward to hearing your response.

21

Hi, We are a design company based in Toronto. We have a project that we are currently starting to spec out and are interested in discussing the pre-engineered bifold liftstrap doors that we have in our design. We wish to have two large Schweiss bi-folding doors on the front and rear of our laneway house and would like them to be glass. If you could email me the contact of the person I can discuss this with, I can send a pdf of our plans and elevations for you to get a better understanding of the project and what we require so that we can get a discussion going and a quote. 

22

Working on a project at Brooklyn NY that the A/E has indicated your  merit worthy engineered Schweiss bifold door. It's a tube steel support bifold door as basis of design. The project requires 7 ea 12' tall x 17' wide and 2 ea 14' tall x 17' wide doors. I need to complete my Schweiss Door estimate soon.

23

I saw your product last week at the Minnesota Farm Fest and was impressed with your steel tube requirements for manufacturing your door systems. I believe your Schweiss doors, hydraulic and bifold are made better than others I have seen.

24

The building is in the design engineering phase. I need stress and load info for the structural engineer. Your hydraulic one piece door is to be located in the lower level of a AZ residence. Like a walk out. Poured concrete or wood walls depending on engineering. The plan is ready for engineering. I would prefer a hydraulic door but the engineering may not allow it. I would appreciate some live contact as soon as possible. Thank-you, Doug

37

I have a door opening that is 16' wide and 14' tall. I need to get the door engineering specs on a bifold liftstrap aluminum door so that I can engineer the trusses.

38

I have a 40x25 steel building, and want to fit it with a 36x12 bi-fold liftstrap steel door. From your current "Photo of the Day," this size opening and door shouldn't be a problem. Engineer is telling me they need to put 13' 4" walls just to fit a 10' opening. Can I get some door opening specs to support your bifold engineered door?

39

I need Schweiss technical door assistance for a newly ordered engineered ag door, bid number 61213-AS. We will be producing the structure and end framing. I want to coordinate door design and fabrication of end framing to accomodate the door.

Now in the early stages of engineering and bifold door design, would like to have operational steel door in place by May. Is Schweiss Doors able to help with engineered bifold door detailing and coordination? 

41

Hi, I am a structural engineer working on a project in Utah. The architect would like to incorporate a glass bi-folding door. It is an internal door in a public building. There is a lightweight steel roof structure and there are static glass wall panels either side of the door. We are trying to reduce the visual impact of structure as much as possible with frameless glass elements wherever possible. Your door mechanisms look very interesting to us and we are especially interested in your patented Schweiss liftstrap system. Could you give us an idea of the details - size of motor, side rails etc. which would be required for such an application. I have included the door dimensions below. We anticipate a glass door weight of 1400lbs. Many thanks

42

I sent out this request yesterday, without the engineers door specs. please review the basic specs below. I also need this to include its own frame columns and header, and to include the concrete pier specs required to support this Schweiss bifold door. is there any chance to get these concrete specs ASAP? Thank you for all your help, and quick response! 

43

I am interested in 2 or 3 doors 24 wide x 14 tall net when open. I would like Schweiss Red Power hydraulic doors with a walk-thru doors in at least one of them. I would like pricing on all components necessary, less the hydraulic pump. I happen to have an older unit that I am sure could operate all three doors. I would need engineering plans to submit to the building dept. as well as this is a new construction project. I would need specifications to submit to steel building manufacturer to ensure engineering is adequate.

Please help me spec your Schweiss bifold liftstrap door: 40x60 x ?, pre-engineered steel bldg. (I'm a Nucor Dealer) My client has a Cessna, 210 1. How big a door do I need for this Plane? 2. I don't know how I'm going to lay out this bldg yet. Why do you ask if this is being installed on and End Wall or Side Wall? Either way, Nucor will engineer to your spec. 3. Please let me know what your clearances are for the door you spec. i.e., If the door is 10' tall, is it just like a rollup and I need to build a 12' eave?? also, need the clearances for the jambs. do you have a motor that hangs off the side?? etc.. In other words, before I design the building and send it in for pricing, please i.d. the size of your door and my install requirements. thank you.

45

I need a quote for (2) 30x30 clear Bifold doors going in a pre-eng bldg. I need to know the clearance I must keep the bldg. to. Include freight to NY Least expensive door for now.

Greetings, project is in Longview Washington, owner has requested pricing for Schweiss bi fold liftstrap doors in a pre engineered building used for steel storage. Need the pricing by Friday at noon.

48

Conducting engineering market research on a door frame that will support a net fabric with a weight of .065 #'s per square foot and span an opening of 190' wide and 60' foot high and push button operated. Can you supply specs on both your bifold and hydraulic Schweiss doors, any assistance with this matter would be greatly appreciated

49

I am a structural engineer in Green Bay, Wisconsin. I have a client that is planning on building a private hangar in the Appleton, Wisconsin area and he will be installing your hydraulic Red Power doors in (2) 45'Wx14'H openings. Can you supply me with loading info and details for installation. The building is wood framed but I am not sure what type of frame I need to supply to support the door. There will be one sidewall door and one endwall door.

50

I am an engineer in upstate New York. I have a client who is building a hangar for light sailplanes. His requirement is for a very wide but fairly short door. 70%u2019 wide by 12%u2019 tall. We do have experience with industrial buildings but not with large doors like this. This is a private use%u2026.My feeling (unconfirmed) is that the door will be used occasionally but not subject to high frequency use. The owner is probably looking for the least expensive hydraulic Red Power door solution. What can you suggest?

51

Looking for pricing on hydraulic and bi-fold doors for an insulated farm shop. I am looking at (1) 25'WX17'H hydraulic door in a 50' endwall and possibly (1) 18'WX16'H hydraulic or bifold in an 80 or 90 foot sidewall. My shop will have 18' ceiling height. We intend to build it out of SIPs (structural insulated panels) so I need to get as much design and construction guidance as possible both from the SIP company and my door manufacturer for installation and engineering. We are putting the budget together now and hope to start construction later this fall.

52

Dear Madam or Sir, We are looking for three lift strap bifold doors for our hangars. Size: 18 meters wide, 7 meters high If possible with some glass elements. our structural engineer asks for the approximately weight to check if we have to some reconstruction.

53

Please email me. I have a Bid Invitation for this hangar door replacement project. This is also a Design Build. We have an engineer that will provide design. Right now we are just going by the scope of work provided and existing building As-Builts. The Bid Invite will provide the necessary information to access these As-Builts along with the Scope of Work. Does your company provide installation services?

55

Hello, I've installed at least 10 Schweiss Bi-Fold doors at two different airports in eastern Washington State. I'm currently working on the construction of a pole style hangar. I need to the weight of a 40' wide by 12' tall door that will have metal siding. We are designing the truss bottom cord to support the door and my truss engineer needs that information. Thank you, 

56

I have an existing airplane hanger that currently has sliding doors. The client wants to install a folding door. The clear opening size is 40'x12'. The header beam is a 24" steel beam and the side posts are 6x6 wood. The roof is wood trusses with metal sheathing. I am an engineer and they have retained me to design the building structure to support the new door. Can you give me the design loads for the door with a 24" wedge and a 36" wedge? I am not sure which will work best. I can email pics if that helps. I need to check the steel beam and the wood side posts for the added loads of the door. Thank you.

66

I sent an email on Monday the 2nd pertaining to a request for information. The following is what I wrote. I am an engineer that designs many ag. & commercial buildings. I have designed many buildings with Schweiss bi-fold doors in them. I have a customer that would like me to design a building which has a 30' x16'7" opening in the endwall. He would like to cover this with a bifold door in the future. I was wondering if I could get a spec sheet for a door of that size from you so that I will have all the numbers I need for column and truss design. The customer is there in MN, so our company will definitely try to steer them towards a Schweiss door since that is what the building will be designed for. Thank you for your help. Nick S.

67

To whom it may concern, I am curently studying engineering and am required to design a hangar. i love the picture of your work and was hoping you could please email me the cost for a standard bfold door for the minimum dimensions of 13m wide and 3.8m at the lowest point of the bifold once opended. thanks for any help possible

68

PLEASE PROVIDE ENGINEERING DATA FOR A 60' X 13' CLEAR WHEN OPEN BI-FOLD DOOR. THANKS CUSTER

We are currently retrofitting an existing hangar for one of our airport clients. We would like to install two 70'x20' free standing door systems in each end of the hangar. The hangar originally had rolling steel doors at each end, but they were filled in with stud and CMU within the last 10 years. We would like to specify Schweiss doors. Could you please send me a preliminary quote and general layout drawings? Also, I'm assuming the free standing system imparts relatively large loads at the foundations. Could you provide those also? The hangar is at the old Griffiss Air Base in Rome, New York. Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks Joseph , P.E. Project Engineer

70

Gents, I am responsible for a roof top helipad for Hartford Hospital. We are renovating the pad, and I also want to get rid of the bottom roller dorrs that presently exist.

Hello, we are a structural engineering consultancy who have been asked by our clients to design a supporting frame for one of your bifold bottom drive doors for an airport hanger located here in Ireland. We have an existing structure with a clear opening of 30.2 feet high x 128 feet wide. Could you please tell me what the ideal 'wedge' depth should be for our particular door. Many thanks, Claire B.

Hi , we are a Steel building manufacture and our end uswers have used your door on many occasions. I would like to know what the maximun vertical deflection is allowed when doors exceed 30 feet wide. I ask this because another door manufacture has specified a deflection in inches and we would like to know what is acceptable in this format L/XXX where XXX is the allowable deflection Example L/180 Thanks
