Wilson debuts vertical bi-fold door

By Janice Wood · December 2, 2009 ·

valu tec hangarWilson Doors now offers the Valu-Tec vertical bi-folding door.

The Valu-Tec steel bi-fold door is packed with the kind of standard features needed for secure aircraft storage and easy access, according to company officials, including  three button pushbutton operation (Up/Down/Stop), auto-locks, top/bottom rubber/vinyl weather seal, balanced lift cable and drive mechanism for even lifting across the entire door span, cable tensioners for even wrapping and a mechanical “soft start,”cable guards for safety and a long galvanized drive shaft for proper door support.

Valu-Tec doors are engineered and designed for each and every application. Wilson constructs these doors of appropriately-sized steel tubing and cold-formed steel structural members in compliance with International Building Codes (IBC 2006).
