AirVentures Trip Leads to a New Retrofit Bifold Door

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a hangar originally built in the 1970s, it didn’t take long to identify the biggest issue on the property: the outdated bifold door system.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 full ritual every time it was used. Someone had to find the keys, walk to each end of the 58-foot span, manually release the uplatches, drop the floor bars, and hope the door would seal properly. It rarely did.

Light gaps were visible even in the dark, and during 10-degree Jamestown winters, that meant heat—and money—escaping constantly from the aviation hangar. On windy days, the hangar door wouldn’t open at all, creating both operational delays and serious safety concerns.

Determined to find a better solution, Brian attended AirVenture in Oshkosh and met with multiple hangar door manufacturers. Among all the options, Diamond Doors stood out, not just for build quality, but for a key engineering advantage no other aviation hangar door provider offered: a second motor designed to actively drive the door shut and secure a tight seal.

“That second motor that closes the door shut was really what sold me,” Brian said. “It was the only system I saw that felt truly well thought out.”

The upgrade transformed the entire aircraft hangar experience. 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.

No more walking the length of the aviation hangar, no more manual latches, no more worrying about safety or performance. Just a high-quality hangar door system that works reliably every time.

Having my own hangar, I love the convenience of it, but as you come back to an old door, it’s like, oh, I got to dig for the keys, I got to go through the two man doors, then I got to go unlock the latches, and then I got to stand there and watch and hope that, you know, my kid or my dog doesn’t come run underneath it, because I don’t know if it’s going to fall. And now we just don’t, we don’t really have to think about that. 

So Chase Aviation Company is an aircraft acquisition and resale company. I’ve been in business for almost 20 years now. The headquarters is here in Jamestown, New York. I’ve got a sales guy down in Charlotte, North Carolina, one in Charleston, and then for our management side of the business, I have a pilot down in Melbourne, Florida.

So I purchased the hangar in July of 2025. It was built, I think, originally in the 70s. By the time I got to it, it was definitely something that needed a lot of renovation. After I purchased it and started using it a few times, all that creaking and popping, and there was one time that the wind was blowing at the hangar and the door wouldn’t even go up. And so it quickly became obvious that I needed to spend the money and replace the door. We were going to go to AirVenture anyway, and we go every year. Flew in and just decided to start looking at some of the different options that I had. So I met with every provider that I could find. I was in one of the hangars and diamond doors. They had this beautiful display, and I’m looking at it and like, wow, this is really something. That second motor that closes the door shut was really what sold me on it. I think that’s the only one that I’d seen that was that well thought out. I gave them initial dimensions just kind of off the top of my head, and they came back with a quote, and that was enough to make me go, oh wow, okay, so I can replace the entire door and just do it all right, which is the way I like to do things.

The old door system was a bifold, similar concept, but there was manual mechanisms that you had to physically go over to, and it was like an uplatch, and you had to really pull down on it, and it just didn’t quite work right, and it didn’t form a perfect seal. So when you turned the lights out, you could see these light gaps, and when it’s 10 degrees out, that’s just money literally going out there. And so every time I see that auto lock system suck the door closed, I’m like, I don’t know, there’s just so much satisfaction to not having to go walk, you know, 58 feet to the other end of the hangar, close that one, walk all the way back, put the little drops, those bars down in the floor, and it went from, I got to get the door open, to one button, and just stand back and watch the glory.

Why These Wisconsin Pilots Chose Diamond Doors for Their Aviation Hangars

For this group of five Wisconsin pilots, finding the right hangar door for their private hangars meant quality that lasts, offering them access to their airplanes without a headache. Choosing a Diamond door was the answer.

Marc Stamsta ordered his Diamond door in 2015, equipped with the autolock package, remote opener, and fully insulated to protect against the winter chill. He was pleasantly surprised by the price, but more important was the ease of access to his hangar.

“I wanted a door that would go up and down to facilitate me getting my airplane in and out when I wanted to,” said Stamsta.

Dan Coffey, another local pilot, adds that longevity was important too. “For the next 20 years too,” said Coffey, “without any headaches.”

Coffey ordered his door in 2017. Eight years later, he’s still pleased with its performance. Like Stamsta, he ordered his door with convenience in mind, choosing to include the autolock system and remote opener package.

Other factors that made the Diamond door an appealing choice? Larry Sullivan and John Semenske agree that the quality of the door and the design were key factors in their decision to purchase a bifold hangar door from Diamond Doors.

“For me, it was having some experience with a different door that constantly required adjustment and changes…” said Sullivan. “I said, there’s got to be something better, and then March had run into Diamond Doors.”

Semenske adds that “I looked at… every door out there, compared pricing, got quotes from everybody, and then looked at the quality and the type of door. I came to the conclusion… a Diamond door was the best door out there, and it was also the best value.”

Bill Schnell was happy with the speed of his 50’x13’ hangar door. “It’s a big thing. And also with the electrical engineering background – I like the wiring and the motors and the design.”

The technical features and quality door design were all highlights for this group of pilots. However, they also unanimously agreed that the best part of working with Diamond Doors was the accessibility and service from the sales team.

“When you call, somebody picks up the phone and they help you, and they get to the answer,” said Semenske.

He adds that “Serge was good too… I made him do a lot of work, but he was happy to do it and was always very nice to work with.”

Marc Stamsta: So why did we do the door?

Larry Sullivan: Yeah, and then when you look at the price, then you’re like, whoa.

Marc Stamsta: Well, then the price for me, that wasn’t the thing for me. It was a little bit, I was pleasantly surprised, but I wanted a door that would go up and down to facilitate me getting my airplane in and out when I wanted to.

Dan Coffey: Yeah, for the next 20 years, too, without any headaches.

Larry Sullivan: For me, it was having some experience with a different door that constantly required adjustments and changes because it wouldn’t quite latch normally, plus the insulation on it.

And so I said, there’s got to be something better, and then Marc had run into the Diamond doors.

John Semenske: I went through, and I think I looked at, like most of us probably, looked at every door out there, compared pricing, got quotes from everybody, and then looked at the quality and the type of door.

And I came to the conclusion when I bought [the door, a] Diamond door was the best door out there, and it was also the best value.

Bill Schnell: For me, I like the speed of the door. It’s a big thing. And also with the electrical engineering background – I like the wiring and the motors and the design.

Now Marc’s door was all done with relays. We were able to retrofit it with all the latest. So it went really well.

Larry Sullivan: We also were able to arrange, I think there were some other shipments coming, so we worked with the company and was able to save a little money because it was shipped with some other doors that were in the area, and we timed it that way.

So that saved a little money, which was appreciated.

John Semenske: I would say that’s one of your best things about Diamond Door was your accessibility.

When you call, somebody picks up the phone and they help you, and they get to the answer. They don’t, just, they all send you.

Marc Stamsta: We didn’t have to e-mail so much.

John Semenske: It’s a little like old school where they actually talk to you and work through a problem.

Dan Coffey: Yeah, customer service.

Marc Stamsta: Good, Dan.

Bill Schnell: And a knowledgeable person on the phone too, not the secretary. Kevin was really sharp, knew his stuff.

John Semenske: Serge was good too. I heard when I bought my door, he was newer with the company and he was great.

And then I started out with a 50 by 50 hanger, and then I switched to a 60 by 60, and then I wanted the door this size and then that size. So I made him do a lot of work, but he was happy to do it and was always very nice to work with.

Bifold Door Offers Big Upgrade for Quonset Hangar

Gil Gauthier, a Manitoban pilot, had a lifelong dream come true when he purchased his very own airplane. But, as any pilot knows, having a dry, secure place to store your aircraft is important. After several years of renting a hangar, a quonset style hangar with sliding doors went up for sale.

“It wasn’t insulated, and it had very poor electrical,” says Gauthier. “But you know what? I checked and the plane fit… just barely.”

While Gauthier was excited to have his own hangar space, he knew that it needed a few upgrades to really maximize its potential, especially throughout our cold, Canadian winters.

Replacing the sliding doors was Gauthier’s first priority. The old doors had a top track to support the weight of the doors and for the doors to slide along. A bottom track ensured the doors stayed properly aligned. But sliding doors are impossible to seal well, allowing the wind and weather to sneak into the hangar uninvited.

Still, the doors worked… until winter came around.

Gauthier says that he quickly realized he was “clearing snow for not only where the door was, but the door had to slide out of its way. The tracks would get stiff, the frost would heave. The doors were impossible… I often had times where I could not go flying because the doors had frozen in place.”

After that first winter, Gauthier said, “I’m calling Diamond Doors and I’m getting a quote to get a new motorized bifold door.”

He adds that, “It was the best investment [he] could have ever made.”

Door Features and Options

A Diamond bifold door offers a unique solution for quonset hangars. Installed to the outside of the hangar, these doors maximize the size of the clear opening and provided Gauthier with a few extra inches of headroom to maneuver his airplane into the hangar.

Diamond Doors included the self-supporting header option on the door package, allowing the bifold door to extend past the arched walls of the quonset hangar. While it’s not entirely free-standing, this system supports most of the weight and loads of the door. It transfers only the outward pull of the door to the building.

Gauthier added a few other features and options to his door. Since he planned to insulate his hangar in the future, he opted for Diamond Doors’ three-inch insulation panels with an R16 insulation value.

He also included two dual-pane windows for natural lighting and upgraded his door with the autolock system and remote opener package.

“One thing that I got – that I’m super happy I did – is they also have an auto-lock mechanizing system,” says Gauthier.

Safety First

Safety is always a concern at the airport and around aircraft. “My issue is that when I take the plane out, I often have my passengers here. I’m also the pilot and I have to watch out for them.” With the remote opener package, he can open and close his door without leaving the seat of his plane.

Leaving his plane running while passengers wait inside was never an option, and neither was having his passengers operate the door while he waited inside the plane. “From a safety perspective, and from a convenience perspective… [the autolock system and remote opener package] is so much nicer than having to run in and out every time I open and close the door.”

“With the remote, I can now just literally have everybody in the plane and press the button and the doors start closing themselves.”

Gauthier was satisfied with his hangar door upgrade, and is happy to recommend Diamond Doors to other pilots. “Now I have an old quonset style building that… has a giant bifold door that’s remote controlled. It’s safe, it’s secure, it’s solid.”

“I’m a big fan of Diamond Doors. Give them a call, they’ll have a solution for you. I guarantee.”

Video Transcript

Hello my name is Gil and I’m a local pilot here in Manitoba and recently one of my lifelong dreams came true – I was able to buy my very own airplane. And as anybody who knows who has an airplane the very second thing you’ve got to figure out is where am I going to keep this airplane?

It’s an investment. I want to make sure it’s protected, and hangars are very very hard to find at local airports. Often they’re not building, there’s none available, there’s not even for sale.

So after a few years of renting, a hangar came for sale – this really nice little quonset style hangar.

It wasn’t insulated, and it had very poor electrical but you know what? I checked and the plane fit… just barely. Maybe like four inches from the top of the tail to the frame of the door.

Now this quonset hanger, after I figured out it fit, first thing I wanted to know was “Okay, how do I get in and out?” Because it wasn’t insulated, it wasn’t really made for winter, and it had the old style sliding garage doors which had a track on above and it had posts on the bottom to make sure it guided.

“And then there’s just two by sixes across the floor to keep the door from banging around.”

“This is about nine foot four to the bottom of this, here where the track is.”

“Issues with the door. Kind of… can go right outside.”

“No more padlock. As you can see the doors are just loose in front so we have to leave a trench there. Even this piece was coming loose and you can see right inside the airplane hangar. So having this removed, all the structure will be gone and even these posts that kind of keep the door in place when they’re open. That blue thing was welded and extended because these posts have shifted up vertically.”

“And that’s just held by wood. It’s a very solid structure, but the only thing keeping this closed is just wood sitting in between a little dirt track.”

It worked… till winter came along.

And then I realized I was clearing snow for not only where the door was, but where the door had to slide out of its way.

The tracks would get stiff. The frost would heave. The doors were impossible.

I’m a decent sized guy at over six feet tall, and I often had times where I could not go flying because the doors had frozen in place, or they had iced over, or the track was binding, or the frost had heaved.

So as soon as we finished our first winter, I said, I’m calling Diamond Doors, and I’m getting a quote to get a new motorized bifold door.

It was the best investment I could have ever made.

Not only did I get the door, the exact dimensions they had, but Diamond Doors had actually a really neat solution – a motorized bi-fold door that can fit in front of a quonset.

Because it’s not really an evident problem. You have a rectangular door on a curved building side. How do you even make that work?

Diamond Doors told me it’s not an issue.

They actually have a metal header frame system. They can give you all the details about it, but essentially, it’s self-standing.

It’s a steel girder truss system that supports everything that the door does, and that is just leaned up against the hanger.

Now, the neat part was, because the quonset is strong because of its shape, the front wall really didn’t do much other than just block the wind from coming in. Diamond Doors was able to actually give me even more opening.

So now I have a full 10-foot height opening between the floor and where the door goes because it folds up and out of the way.

And because all of the hardware on the Diamond door is on the outside of my hanger, as the mechanism goes up and the door opens, everything’s to the outside, not to the inside, so I don’t lose any space internally.

Couple other things I said, “I need it insulated.”

They said, “We got you covered.”

I said, “I’d love to have some windows because it’s pitch dark in here when I’m not here”

…“We got you covered.”

So they put windows in there as well.

And one thing that I got – that I’m super happy I did – is they also have an auto-lock mechanizing system.

So whenever you have motorized hangar doors, somebody presses the button, you hold the button and the door opens up, and then you get the plane out, and then when everybody’s out of the way, you get the door back down. Very very common stuff.

My issue is that when I take the plane out, I often have my passengers here and I’m also the pilot and I have to watch out for them. So every time I pulled the plane out, I would either have to have them loitering around outside the plane while it’s pushed out onto the taxiway, and I had to go in back behind them and close the door, or I have them waiting in the plane unattended and I have to go back inside the hangar and close the door.

Passenger safety and being able to open and close the door without me getting out of a running airplane, which is not doable, or having passengers come do it, which is not safe, or me leaving them outside alone in the plane while I come back to slide these sliding doors, none of those were viable safe solutions for me.

Diamond Door said we have a motorized latching system.

What will happen is as the door closes, it secures.

Not everybody has these on these bifolds. You have this lever and you close the door and you lock it in place, but you have to be in the hangar to do that every time.

They have a motorized option – it’s a bit of an upgrade but well worth it in my opinion.

What they do is that latching mechanism is now motorized, meaning you can get an optional little garage door opener remote, keep it in the airplane or in your vehicle, press the button and the door opens from outside without having to send somebody in to unlatch and do all the latching mechanism.

So the safety of having the auto lock really is a huge plus.

Plus when we’re flying in late, arriving at night, it’s dark, I can literally pull the plane right up in front of the hangar, press the button, the auto lock mechanism unlatches, opens the building, and the hangar door starts going up all on its own.

It’s also got infrared beam sensors, so if anybody runs across the door while it’s closing, you’re protected there because it immediately stops the door.

So from a safety perspective, from a convenience perspective, and let’s face it’s so much nicer than having to run in and out every time I open and close the door.

Now when my passengers are kind of loaded, ready to go in the plane, normally I go back inside, close hangar doors get that all set up but I’m leaving them in the plane without me because I don’t want them running the door.

Well, with the remote, I can now just literally have everybody in the plane and press the button and the doors start closing themselves. I don’t have to actually go back out there and get everybody. Plane is secure, the hangar is secure, we just kind of proceed. Love the door.

As you can see behind me, once the door is all the way up, all of the hardware is actually on the outside of the hangar, so it’s not taking up any space on the inside.

And as an added benefit on a nice, hot, sunny summer day, it makes for a pretty cool awning for the entrance of our gazebo, where we can just kind of enjoy the sunset and talk about the flight we just had.

Another little cosmetic thing was this quonset hanger I bought was green.

An old forest green. Not my choice, but that’s what it was.

And Diamond Doors said, “No problem, we have colors to pick from,” and they were able to match the color almost perfectly.

So now I have an old quonset style building that’s about to get insulated, but now has a giant bi-fold door that’s remote controlled, it’s safe, it’s secure, it’s solid, and I now have daylight without having to always have the lights on.

So I’m a big fan of Diamond Doors, give them a call, they’ll have a solution for you, I guarantee.

Bryan Baeumler Has a Diamond Hangar Door

Bryan Baeumler has no shortage of experience with construction and renovation projects. As the host of multiple HGTV shows, including Island of Bryan, Renovation Resort, and Bryan’s All in, he’s a well-known name.

“I do a lot of things,” says Bryan. “I do a little bit of construction. We do some TV production. We build cabinets. We run a hotel.”

Aviation rounds out his list of accomplishments. “I’m a pilot, and I am a proud owner of a Diamond door,” Bryan adds.

“My path into general aviation… was a bit of a winding road. I mean, I was born literally into a hangar. I have photos of me in a bassinet under the tail of a DC-3. I worked for a company called Can Air Cargo for years during high school, doing ground equipment maintenance, aircraft maintenance on their Convair 580s and 737, the 200 series with the gravel kits.”

Like Diamond Doors, Bryan’s family has a history of aviation. “I was always surrounded by an aircraft or aviation, flying a lot with friends and family. My dad was a pilot as well, and kind of pushed me that direction.”

Diamond Doors headed down to Florida to visit with Bryan and hear more about his bifold hangar door.

Bryan and his wife, Sarah, typically aim to buy the “worst property in the best neighborhood” and turn it into something beautiful. Their Florida home was just that – it  wasn’t quite abandoned, but after years of vacancy, nature was starting to take over.

“We came up with a great design for a new home that would suit our family,” says Bryan. But there was one thing missing – a workshop to handle the majority of the renovations.

The hangar quickly became one of the most important spaces to Bryan. “I needed a space as a workshop to renovate the remainder of the home,” he says, but there were complications. “The existing door was creaky and dangerous, and I was kind of worried about it falling apart.”

That’s when he started to think about an upgrade.

“We did our research and we found Diamond Doors, and being a Canadian company, a Canadian-made product, that interested me right off the bat.”

“Just the features that they have, the safety features, the hurricane locks that are on the door already, the system itself, the installation, the ease, the fact that we could set up the measurements, send them, it’s manufactured, sent down, installed.

“We’ve got remote control operation, which is great too. When I taxi in, I pop the door open and shut down and just roll on in.”

And for a busy man like Bryan Baeumler, it was the easy ordering process for his bifold hangar door that really made Diamond Doors shine.

“Dealing with [Diamond Doors] was easy. It was very well managed. It was something that I didn’t have to think about or manage or over-manage… and this was probably the most seamless installation in the home.”

Bryan adds that “[The door] is one of my favorite things in the house, to be honest. I don’t know if Sarah would agree, but she doesn’t have to agree. It’s my hangar.”

Spell my name. I haven’t spelled it in a while.

Bryan with a Y, B-R-Y-A-N. Baumler, B-A-E-U-M-L-E-R. Or Bravo, Alpha, Echo, Uniform, Mike, Lima, Echo, Romeo.

I’m Bryan Baumler. I do a lot of things.

I do a little bit of construction. We do some TV production. We build cabinets. We run a hotel. We do that.

I’m a pilot, and I am a proud owner of a Diamond Door.

My path into general aviation was a little, it was a bit of a winding road.

I mean, I was born literally into a hangar. I have photos of me in a bassinet under the tail of a DC-3. I worked for a company called Can Air Cargo for years during high school, doing ground equipment maintenance, aircraft maintenance on their Convair 580s and 737, the 200 series with the gravel kits.

I was always surrounded by an aircraft or aviation, flying a lot with friends and family. My dad was a pilot as well, and kind of pushed me that direction.

[In] 2017, we had purchased a hotel in the Bahamas. So traveling from Canada to the Bahamas was a two-stop process. It was arduous.

Our oldest son is an equestrian, was riding in Wellington, Florida. So we were looking at a temporary base in between the two while we renovated the hotel and built the business there. And we found the Aero Club here.

And I thought, what a great time to get my pilot’s license.

It’s a time saver, it’s a huge convenience for us, and it’s a lot of fun.

When we bought the home, I mean, we typically, and we’ve multiple times in the past, we looked for the worst property in the best neighborhood, and that’s what we found here.

It was not abandoned, but it had been vacant for a number of years and nature had started to take over and the beasts and the creepy crawlies. So we came up with a great design for a new home that would suit our family.

Looking at that and renovating that space as well, this was one of the most important spaces to me initially because I needed a space as a workshop to renovate the remainder of the home.

We needed access into here. The existing door was creaky and dangerous, and I was kind of worried about it falling apart. So we did our research and we found Diamond Doors, and being a Canadian company, a Canadian-made product, that interested me right off the bat.

But just the features that they have, the safety features, the hurricane locks that are on the door already, the system itself, the installation, the ease, the fact that we could set up the measurements, send them, it’s manufactured, sent down, installed.

Ordering the door, I mean, it was seamless. We had great customer service. They came down, did all the measurements.

Installation was really a breeze for me. I watched the entire system unfold.

We’ve got remote control operation, which is great too. When I taxi in, I pop the door open and shut down and just roll on in.

I’ve been building and renovating residential homes and doing commercial development for almost 35 years now. Dealing with sub-trades or suppliers, you know, it can be, you can pull your hair out, literally.

Dealing with [Diamond Doors] was easy.

It was very well managed. It was something that I didn’t have to think about or manage or over-manage. I don’t typically like when I have to hold everybody’s hands, and this was probably the most seamless installation in the home.

[The door] is one of my favorite things in the house, to be honest. I don’t know if Sarah, I don’t know if Sarah would agree, but she doesn’t have to agree. It’s my hangar.

Arizona Hangar Doors – Bifold Doors for Pilots and Aviation Enthusiasts

For Scott Dupuis, having his own hangar is a dream come true. Together with his wife, he built a hangar on a quiet lot at 45AZ Willow Valley Airport, an airpark that he is passionate about revitalizing.

“They built the whole neighborhood to be an airpark,” says Scott. “Then it just got overgrown back in the 70s and turned into a junkyard. A gentleman down the street in the dome house down there bought the airstrip and revitalized it.”

When a meeting at the local airfield led to Scott getting a lot for his own hangar at 45AZ, he set out to build it himself. “My wife and I built this hangar ourselves, just her and I,” he says.

Scott had originally planned his hangar with a different door, but when he saw the quality of a Diamond door, he “immediately cancelled the original order” and ordered a Diamond door instead.

When asked about some of his favourite aspects of the Diamond door, he lists several.

“I loved the look of the welds. The quality of the build was great. It was painted nice… and the insulation package… was very attractive.”

He placed his order and waited for his hangar door to arrive, but when it did, he was intimidated by the installation process. He decided to give the Diamond Doors team a call – and was glad that he did.

“That’s another reason why I love them,” says Scott. “The support was great.”

A Diamond door arrives onsite fully assembled and ready for installation, with a thorough installation manual to simplify the process. With a few questions and great support from Diamond Doors, Scott was ready to weld his door hinges to his hangar frame and install the bifold door.

“The build quality is impeccable,” Scott adds. Arizona is a dusty environment, but after a year of use, his bifold hangar door is as quiet as ever. “It’s just the quietest, smoothest opening door,” he says. “After a year, I would expect squeaks and noises, but [there’s] nothing.”

Overall, Scott was very pleased with his decision to install a Diamond bifold door on his Arizona hangar. “It’s like my centerpiece of my building, and I love it,” he says. “I am very proud of it.”

Hi, I’m Scott Dupuis. I’m in Fort Mohave, Arizona.

I’ve had my Diamond door for about a year now. We’re here at 45 AZ Willow Valley Airport, the only hangar on the airfield.

Originally, the airfield was here back in the 60s, and they built the whole neighborhood to be an air park. And then it just got overgrown back in the 70s and turned into a junkyard. A gentleman down the street in the dome house down there bought the airstrip and revitalized it.

I met him at one of the meetings at the local airfield and talked to him about getting a lot here and he welcomed me in.

So I was lucky enough to get a lot on the air strip.

He just recently passed away, so I’m taking it on now to keep revitalizing it and bringing more aviation down here in the dirt.

I had to have a hangar.

I’ve always rented my entire life. In fact, this is the first time I’ve not rented a hangar. So that has been a dream of mine.

My wife and I built this hangar ourselves, just her and I.

I initially had a different door, but I had a friend at a local airport and he had a Diamond door. I saw the quality of it and I immediately canceled the original order.

I just loved the looks of the welds. The quality of the build was great. It was painted nice. The insulation package that he had gotten was very attractive.

So I called up Diamond to see what we could do, and they were very helpful.

It was quite intimidating.

In fact, I called Diamond Doors, and that’s another reason why I love them – the support was great.

So I called them. I was like, how do I weld this thing? And they just told me, and they sent me drawings on how to weld it. It looked good, so I hit it with the welder.

It’s been hanging ever since, so it’s quite rewarding.

It’s just like the quietest, smoothest opening door, and after a year, I would expect squeaks and noises by now, but nothing. I mean, it’s a dusty environment here. Just the build quality is impeccable.

For me, the differentiator between a steel building and a hangar is the door. I mean, it’s like my centerpiece of my building, and I love it. Absolutely love it, whether it open or closed. So I am very proud of it.

Manitoba Hangar Home Door

Richard Bembridge is no stranger to Diamond Doors and it was a record of excellent service that brought him back for a bifold door for his hangar home in eastern Manitoba, Canada.

“I have two hangars at the St. Andrews airport,” said Richard. “The newer one has a Diamond door on it. I had some service experience with Diamond Doors and they were phenomenal, so it was a really easy decision to make.”

Diamond Doors offers standard tin cladding and polycarbonate sheeting as finishing options. However, each door is customizable and can be designed to suit the exact finishing requested by the customer. For Richard, the polycarbonate panels were exactly what he was looking for.

“I was pretty set on a Diamond door when the process began. When it became apparent that the Diamond door could achieve the polycarbonate panels to allow for this light feature that we wanted, it was a no brainer.”

With polycarbonate panels on the top and bottom half of the door, Richard is satisfied with the results. “It works really [well] and at night time it lights up spectacularly,” he says.

Polycarbonate sheeting is a great choice for natural light and can offer some insulation value. The 30mm polycarbonate offered by Diamond Doors provides insulation capabilities similar to that of many double pane windows. This makes it the perfect choice for an insulated hangar home in Manitoba’s cold and snowy winters.

Another advantage to a Diamond bifold hangar door is that it is installed on the outside of the building. This creates room for a larger clear opening – and taller planes.

“One day we might want to move an amphibious airplane in and out of here, so height was a consideration,” said Richard. “The way that the door moves, it’s up and out of the way. It makes it so that whatever you’re moving in and out is not impeded by the door in its parked position.”

Diamond Doors is proud to offer a quality hangar home door and customer service to match. “Everything I’ve had to do with Diamond Doors has been A plus,“ Richard added. “For that reason, I would absolutely recommend using a Diamond door for your hangar, or hangar home, or your project.”

My name is Richard Bembridge and I’ve been a pilot for around seven years.

It was my son’s interest that got me started. He graduated high school, decided he wanted to become a pilot, and I basically followed in behind him.

We have two planes. We have a 1947 Stinson 108. That’s a really nice plane to take on a short trip. And we have a 2007 Cirrus SR22 GTS Turbo Normalizing that is for long cross country [trips].

We decided to build this house probably three or four years ago now. Particularly, it was about having the ease and access to the plane and the convenience of flying. When you’re finished you put it away in your own space – no different than your car. It’s also easier for maintenance. The mechanic can come here, or there’s some cleaning and maintenance attributes that you can perform yourself, in your own home and the comfort of not having to travel to where your hangar may otherwise be.

In the door itself, it fronts the entire house so we didn’t want a wash of black metal or some other coloured metal to complement the rest of the building. We wanted some kind of clear component to it so the polycarbonate panels became a focus of designing the door.

I put them on both halves of the door so that we didn’t have that inconsistency. It works really good, and at night time it lights up spectacularly. You turn the lights on inside the hangar and the door is absorbing all the light and broadcasting it out into the darkness. It’s quite nice.

Diamond Doors is a staple in the aviation community – I think everybody in Manitoba knows that if you’re building a hangar, Diamond Doors is the foremost consideration.

I have two hangars at the St. Andrews airport. One of them is rather old and one of them is rather new. The newer one has a Diamond door on it and I had some service experience with Diamond Doors and they were phenomenal, so it was a really easy decision to make.

Quite frankly, the only research I really did was online. I was pretty set on a Diamond door when the process began, and as I said, when it became apparent that the Diamond door could achieve the polycarbonate panels to allow for this light feature that we wanted, it was a no brainer.

Height was a consideration. One day we might want to move an amphibious airplane in and out of here, so height was a consideration. The way that the door moves, it’s up and out of the way. It makes it so that whatever you’re moving in and out is not impeded by the door in its parked position.

The mechanical attributes of the door are kind of tried, tested, and true – you almost take them for granted a little bit. The built-ins, if you will.

It actually is a great option for anyone building a building of this nature, where you have to move something in and out that is the size of an airplane or tractor. Perhaps you want to have a storage for antique cars or something.

Everything I’ve had to do with Diamond Doors has been A plus. For that reason, I would absolutely recommend using a Diamond door for your hangar, or hangar home, or your project.

Fort Mohave Hangar Home – Diamond Doors in Arizona

When Craig Narr built his hangar home in Fort Mohave, Arizona, he wanted a hangar door built with quality and convenience in mind. Craig says that he “was all over the internet, looking at some other doors, and I wanted a door that was a complete kit. I didn’t want to buy the door frame and then source the other materials.”

Then he found Diamond Doors, a Canadian hangar door manufacturer who ships each door pre-assembled and ready for installation. The frame is completely assembled and pre-wired with all the electrical components installed and tested in the factory, simplifying the installation process for each customer.

“I … was especially impressed with their insulation package,” added Craig. In Fort Mohave, Arizona, with summer temperatures easily reaching 120 degrees Fahrenheit (or almost 50 degrees Celsius), effective door insulation is extremely important to maintain temperature control and lower energy bills for a hangar home.

The insulated hangar home is three years old, and Craig is still impressed by the insulation package. “The insulation is incredible,” he says. “In the heat of summer, when the sun is setting and it’s super hot, you can walk up and touch that metal on the door and it’s still cool.”

An added convenience is the autolocking system on the Diamond door. “I have a remote control and I’ll be in my plane, and I can just shut the door from my plane.” This feature is extremely popular in aviation communities for the simplicity and convenience that it adds.

With fair pricing and quality manufacturing, it’s an easy decision for Craig. “If the door got destroyed or ripped off or went away, I would definitely buy another Diamond door.”

My name is Craig Narr. I live here on an airpark in Alpha Two Zero, Fort Mohave, Arizona. I bought my Diamond door three years ago and it’s been an outstanding product.

When we built this house, we bought an empty lot and we built and designed the house. I was all over the internet, looking at some other doors, and I wanted a door that was a complete kit. I didn’t want to buy the door frame and then source the other materials.

I ran across Diamond Doors and was especially impressed with their insulation package. Where we live, it can be 120 [Fahrenheit] during the day and our hangar door faces west. So when that sun sets, it’s incredibly warm.

The insulation is incredible. In the heat of summer, when the sun is setting and it’s super hot, you can walk up and touch that metal on the door and it’s still cool. My hangar is air conditioned so that stays nice and cool.

The neighbors come by and the friends come by and the first thing they notice is the colour. They said, “Did you paint that?” I said, “No, that’s the manufacturer, that’s the colour I ordered. It’s actually baked on, or whatever process they use.” That impresses them – the good looks of the door.

I have a remote control, and I’ll be in my plane, and I can just shut the door from my plane. The autolock will actually lock the hangar, whereas I don’t have to be inside and then go back to the plane. It’s convenience.

It’s a quality made product. Additionally, I priced it with some other door manufacturers and the price was just fair price. If the door got destroyed or ripped off or went away, I would definitely buy another Diamond door.

High Flying Hangars – Hangar Development Dreams Finally Take Flight

There is a widespread problem facing general aviation pilots and airports across North America. Hangar space, or rather, the lack of it. When father and son duo Kenny and Jack Hinkes needed a hangar for their new Cessna Skyhawk, they soon realized that their local airport, the Double Eagle II Airport, was no exception. With a years-long waiting list, the odds of ever getting into a hangar were slim to none.

Seizing the Opportunity

The news was disappointing, but the Hinkeses saw it as an opportunity. With decades of real estate development experience, it did not take long for an idea to take flight.

The idea? To develop quality aircraft hangars in Alburquerque, New Mexico, helping to fill a growing need for hangar space for general aviation aircraft.

High Flying Hangars is a “business of passion and pride in what we do,” says Jack. That passion is important, as there is a certain dedication required to finish a project of this magnitude.

There’s No One Better Qualified

There is no one better qualified for a project like this. It is a combination of business experience, firsthand knowledge of the general aviation community, and a determination to see a project done well.

A Lifetime Spent in Flight

With 54 years of flying under his wings, Kenny Hinkes has fond memories of his father taking him to the airport in the 1950’s as a small child.

He paints a vivid picture of the scene –rattling engines and propellers, oil leaking and smoking, and planes taking off for flight. “I’ve always been fascinated by anything heavy getting up into the air,” he says, fond remembrance tangled with his words.

For Jack, though it was not until 2019 that he finally had the opportunity to pursue a pilot’s license of his own, he’d spent a childhood in the cockpit and at the airport. His knowledge of the life of a pilot runs just as deep as his father’s.

Years of Development Experience

Kenny Hinkes started in the real estate business in the 1980s, developing commercial and residential properties. Since then, family-operated Center Street Realty LLC has developed, managed, and sold everything from shopping malls, to condominiums, and private homes.

Airport Hangar Development a Calculated Risk

It was this range of knowledge that made stepping into airport hangar development a calculated risk. However, they soon found out that hangar development was more complicated than expected.

Working with the local government and airport officials took three years of meetings, negotiations, paperwork, and approvals before High Flying Hangars officially broke ground on August 31, 2023.

A Closer Look at the Project

Kenny and Jack don’t do anything by halves. They launched High Flying Hangars with the goal of building 46 hangars at the Double Eagle II Airport, breaking the development into several phases of building.

Phase One includes 10 hangars, each 60 feet wide by 50 feet deep. Phase Two is scheduled to begin in late fall and includes 14 hangars in various sizes, with future phases to follow.

For High Flying Hangars, quality is at the heart of what they do. “[We want to] build a hangar we’d build for ourselves,” says Jack. They took a close look at the existing facilities at the airport, compared that to their own hangar dreams, and drew up hangar plans that would fill the gap.

High Quality Hangars

They quickly realized that with a few simple changes, they could improve the convenience and comfort of their hangars, making the airport a welcoming place for pilots and their families to spend a day.

With that in mind, Kenny and Jack included features like three-piece bathrooms, running water and floor drains in each hangar to wash aircrafts, individualized electrical panels for future upgrades, and ceiling heights between 20 and 29 feet to allow hangar owners to install mezzanines as desired.

It is a great mix of convenience and flexibility, but when asked which hangar feature the Hinkeses are most excited about, Kenny and Jack are quick to agree it’s the Diamond bifold door.

Custom Doors for the Project

High Flying Hangars ordered ten doors for the first phase of their development project. Standing at fourteen feet tall and varying between 58 and 59 feet in width, each door is equipped with the features and options that make a Diamond door unique, a result of the Hinkeses’ thorough research.

A Simple Introduction

Visiting Oshkosh EAA Airventure had been a family event for many years, but when Kenny and Jack first started dreaming about hangars, it took on a new importance.

“We started looking at all the vendors,” says Kenny. They visited multiple door companies over the next several years as the project gained momentum. Nevertheless, they found themselves returning to the Diamond Doors booth every year.

Jack shared about his experience visiting the booth and asking questions about the bifold doors. “The Sudermans [the owners of Diamond Doors] were always lovely and willing to answer questions,” he says. Jack also added that, “everything about the Diamond door made sense to us.”

Diamond Doors – Over 25 Years of Quality

Diamond Doors is a family-owned and operated bifold door manufacturing company, based in Winkler, Manitoba. Founded in 1998 by Dick Suderman, they have manufactured quality bifold doors for the aviation, agricultural, and industrial industries for over 25 years.

Like the Hinkes, the Sudermans have a rich background in aviation. Dick Suderman was a professional pilot, flying for a local aerial application company before moving into manufacturing. His sons, who now run the company, are also pilots.

Diamond Doors has a strong commitment to quality, innovation, and convenience, just like High Flying Hangars. It is these shared values that make the two companies a remarkable team.

A Remarkable Team

 “[Working with Diamond Doors] is one of the best decisions that we made,” says Jack.

He explained that Diamond Doors took time to examine the building drawings that High Flying Hangars had received from their building engineers. They checked for fitment and ensured the hangars would safely withstand the loads of the door.

This made the experience a comfortable one, knowing that Diamond Doors went through every aspect of the project in detail.

Likewise, Diamond Doors had nothing but good things to say about working with High Flying Hangars.

“From the day discussions happened at the show, to putting together the initial quote, going through the process of designing the door to fit the building, and discussing the options on the doors, it was seamless,” says Peter Doerksen, sales manager and head of the project at Diamond Doors. “It was a real pleasure to work with both Kenny and Jack from the start.”

Convenient and Innovative Door Features

The Hinkes were eager to share their experience not only working with Diamond Doors, but with the door itself. Jack highlighted several door features that he had especially appreciated, including the autolock and remote opener system, the polycarbonate sheeting option, and the easy-install design.

The Autolock

The Diamond Doors autolock is noted in the bifold door industry for its simplistic and innovative design. It offers unmatched convenience as the bifold door can be operated with the push of a single button. This was an attractive feature to Kenny and Jack Hinkes , who wanted to emphasize convenience and quality in their hangars. With that in mind, they added the remote openers to the package. This means that hangar owners can operate their door just like their residential garage door at home.

Polycarbonate Sheeting

Diamond Doors offers polycarbonate sheeting as a custom finishing option. It allows in plenty of natural light, creating a welcoming atmosphere for pilots spending a quiet afternoon in their hangar.

To combat the hot New Mexico sun, the Hinkes ordered the 30mm Therma Vu polycarbonate sheeting. This provides a standard U-value of 1.3, similar to the U-value of many double pane windows.

Easy Install Design

When the doors arrived on site in late March, Jack Hinkes was pleased to see how quick and simple it was to install them.

Dick Suderman founded Diamond Doors with the firm belief that bifold doors should be simple to install. With no special equipment required, customers should be able to install the doors without too much fuss. More than 25 years later, that belief still holds.

Each door arrives at the building site ready for installation, a stark contrast to other door brands that may require the door frame to be bolted together before being hung. Diamond Doors are shipped preassembled in an “A” frame and can be hung in place almost immediately*.

The Future of High Flying Hangars

The Hinkeses don’t plan to stop at just a few hangars. With these 10 hangars underway, and High Flying Hangars poised to start the next 14 hangars, they’re already looking forward to the next hangar build. Passionate about preserving the future of general aviation, they hope to see High Flying Hangars developments at airports across the United States – and a Diamond door on every one.

A New Bifold Hangar Door for Unity Aviation Canada

When a company grows as much as Unity Aviation Canada, increasing available workspace is essential. Here’s how a Diamond bifold door helped make their new hangar a reality, maximizing work efficiency and minimizing time spent on side tasks.

Located in Airdrie, Alberta, Unity Aviation Canada became a factory endorsed service center for Viking Air in 2019, providing maintenance services, refurbishment, and warranty related services on Series 400 Twin Otter aircraft. Their commitment to quality and customer service has earned them a strong reputation in the aviation world, growing their company and creating a need for a larger facility.

That’s when they turned to Remuda Building, a leading contractor in the post frame construction industry. Based in Rocky View County, Alberta, they offer building solutions for a wide range of applications, including farms, acreages, and commercial customers – exactly what Unity Aviation Canada was looking for.

The Hangar Project

With a 65-foot wingspan and almost 20-foot tail height, the Series 400 Twin Otter is not a small plane. To fit the plane into the hangar and still leave room for maintenance and refurbishing, Unity Aviation Canada needed an 80-foot by 82-foot hangar, with roughly 6400 square feet. And they needed a big door to match.

A Big Hangar Door

Jon Schouten has worked at Remuda for 10 years as a sales consultant. He’s worked with Diamond Doors for just as long, providing door solutions to countless customers. He says that a Diamond door is the only door he will recommend when large doors are needed.

“I find that they have advantages over some of the other manufacturers,” says Jon. “The strain on the building structure is a lot less than a hydraulic door and if someone is parked directly in front of the door there is no risk of hitting the vehicle.”

Greg Kalinchuk, accountable executive with Unity Aviation Canada, had heard of Diamond Doors before and had no concerns about installing a Diamond bifold door in their new hangar.

And so, they decided to order a Diamond bifold door that gave them a 70-foot wide, 20-foot high clear opening.

Why Choose a Diamond Door?

Along with the minimal strain to the building, there are many advantages to choosing a Diamond door. This includes easy installation, a low maintenance door design, and other door features to maximize the efficiency of the door.

Easy Door Installation

A foundational value at Diamond Doors is the knowledge that our customers’ time is valuable. We strive to build a door that streamlines the building experience – a key factor in the satisfaction of Remuda Building and Unity Aviation Canada.

Remuda is no stranger to installing Diamond doors. However, Jon says that “the unique challenge on this project was that this was the largest door we had installed to date. Initially, it was to be delivered in two separate pieces, but Diamond Doors was able to get it shipped out in one piece, which was super helpful to the flow of the project.”

That bit of extra planning helped Remuda and Unity Aviation Canada reduce costs by further simplifying the installation process.

Did you know that Diamond doors are designed to make installation as easy as possible? Some competitors ship their doors as kits that you must assemble when they arrive. At Diamond Doors, we ensure that your door is ready to be installed the moment it arrives. This means that each door arrives with the frame fully assembled (with the exception of some very large doors), and the electrical components pre-wired and installed.

Low Maintenance Door Features

When asked which door features make the Diamond bifold door a useful part of daily operations at Unity Canada Aviation, Greg says that it is that “the hangar door operates smoothly.”

While there are some tasks that need to be done to keep a business running, they don’t always directly contribute to generating revenue. With low maintenance door features and a reliable door design, Diamond Doors is helping minimize unnecessary repair work. After all, a bifold door shouldn’t be another piece of equipment to look after. It should be a tool that makes work easier.

Some of these features include greaseless hinges, long-lasting lift cables, and a maintenance free locking system. You can read more about our door components by visiting our features and options page.

Energy Efficiency and Temperature Control

Like the rest of Canada, the winter season in central Alberta is cold and windy. Temperatures dip well below freezing for months on end, and it can make heating bills skyrocket. To maintain a consistent and comfortable working environment, an effective insulation package was essential.

Unity Aviation Canada opted to include a complete three-inch (R16) insulation package with their bifold hangar door order.

Compared to options like spray foam or fiberglass insulation, our panels provide a consistent thermal break across the exterior of the door. Plus, they are easy to install and provide a visually appealing finish on the interior of the door.

Read our insulation package overview here.

A Quality Door that Lasts

We design Diamond doors for strength and durability. It’s part of our commitment to quality and excellence – and it’s evident in the satisfaction of our customers.

Jon says that that when compared to a competitor’s door, a Diamond door “is a much stronger door.” He adds that Diamond Doors is “low maintenance, solid construction, [and a] reputable company that stands behind their product.”

After several years of using the hangar and bifold door, Greg only has good things to say about the project. “Ultimately very happy with Remuda and [the] Diamond door,” he says. He is quick and confident to recommend both Remuda and Diamond Doors to others in the aviation industry.

Jared Jestice’s Aircraft Hangar Door

Jared Jestice lives in Fulton County, Arkansas, surrounded by the foothills of the Ozark Mountains. He and his family own and operate Jestice Contracting, a construction company specializing in concrete and installing steel structures. “That’s on the side,” says Jared with a smile. “Flying airplanes is first.”

As far back as he can remember, Jared’s passion has been flight. His father was a pilot before Jared was born, and Jared’s first memory is of being in an airplane. “And so, at that point, I was already ruined,” he says, talking of his love for aviation.

It’s a passion that runs in the family. With five family members that fly, their private airstrip is a busy place. Family flights to a little place 30 miles west of the farm are a fun way to spend a Saturday or Sunday morning. Jared also spends time competing with other pilots in competitions such as ArkanSTOL, an annual flying competition that combines precision flying with speed.

“When I got the flying dream, I had to pursue it,” says Jared. “That came with buying an airplane and building a hangar for it.”

The hangar is tucked at the back of the property, large enough to hold Jared’s Kitfox and the rest of the family aircraft, including a 1945 Taylorcraft, 701 Zenith, 1947 Chief, and 1948 Piper Vagabond. Friends of the family sometimes make use of the hangar as well.

Jared had a few requirements for his aircraft hangar door. Considering the busyness of the airstrip, convenience and ease of operation were foremost. Reliability and durability were two other equally important factors to consider.

Jared considered several door types for his aircraft hangar, including a hydraulic hangar door and sliding doors. However, sliding doors took up too much space to the side of the building, and a hydraulic door “swing[s] out before it goes up,” Jared says. “If there’s an airplane that’s parked too close that could be very expensive.” He added that “a bifold made the most sense and uses up the least amount of space.”

He ordered two doors – identical bifold doors at 45 feet wide and 13 feet tall.

There were several other advantages to a Diamond bifold door that made it an easy choice for Jared’s hangar. Easy installation was one of them.

Working in construction, Jared has had experience installing commercial overhead doors. Still, he was a little bit apprehensive about mounting a Diamond bifold door. It was his first bifold hangar door installation, and the size alone can be intimidating.

But installing his first Diamond Door was simpler than it appeared. “We picked it up with a telehandler and had it hung in 30 minutes. It was so easy,” says Jared.

Diamond Doors makes installation easy by shipping the bifold door fully assembled in an “A” frame, with the electrical components and wiring already mounted. A detailed instruction manual is also provided with every door to ensure that installation goes smoothly. Jared says, “pretty much follow the instructions and you won’t make any mistakes.”

Ease and convenience are founding principles of the Diamond Doors brand. From ordering to installation to maintenance, it’s important to the company that every customer has a streamlined experience.

“Customer service with Diamond Doors was great,” says Jared. “When we inquired about purchasing one, they told us everything we needed to do to get the building ready and what kind of support system we needed to hang the door. It was easy to go forward from there.”

Innovative features and options create a custom bifold suited to any hangar door needs, like the electric auto-lock installed on Jared’s doors.

“I didn’t want the chance of someone opening the door and it not getting unlatched,” Jared says. With the auto-lock, the bifold door locks, unlocks, and operates with the push of a button. This system prevents the door from accidental damage – although the Diamond Doors manual locking system has safety features in place to prevent this too.

Customers also take note of Diamond doors for their quality manufacturing and reliable operation. This is an important feature for Jared, who takes care of much of the maintenance around the yard. He adds that “with so many people using it and it going up and down several times a day… for it to work well and reliably every time was a must.”

The lift cables used by Diamond Doors particularly impressed Jared and his father. Straps tend to stretch and fray over time, while cables don’t wear out. “You pretty much just set them and forget them,” Jared laughs.

Other features such as greaseless hinges, a durable frame with a rust-resistant finish, and zero maintenance locking systems make the Diamond door that much more convenient and appealing.

Overall, Jared is very satisfied with his aircraft hangar doors. When asked, he says “We’ve put up a lot of steel buildings, different kinds. We’ve put up hangars, machine shops, and mechanic shops. If they need a door – if they don’t do an overhead door – I would recommend a Diamond door.”
