Brian, the owner of Chase Aviation Company—an aircraft acquisition and resale business with nearly 20 years of operation headquartered in Jamestown, New York—knows firsthand how critical reliable hangar doors are to daily operations.
When he purchased a hangar originally built in the 1970s, it didn’t take long to identify the biggest issue on the property: the outdated bifold door system. The existing aircraft hangar door required a long process every time it was used. Find the keys, walk to each end of the 58-foot span, manually release the each uplatches, drop the floor bars, and when closing you hope the door would seal properly. It rarely did.
At AirVenture Brian decided to go with Diamond Doors as part of his upgrade transformed on his aircraft hangar. With the new bifold hangar door, a single button opens and closes the full 58-foot span. The auto-lock system pulls the door into a complete, weather-tight seal—eliminating light gaps, blocking cold air, and improving energy efficiency.
