What we fit in Downpatrick

Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
