Door Types

Bifold Doors

The bifold door lifts vertically — ideal wherever you need maximum clear openings. At the push of a button it opens quietly, quickly, and safely.

Bifold doors shine anywhere a wide, unobstructed opening matters — aircraft hangars and T-hangars, farm shops and machine sheds swallowing combines and sprayers, and commercial or industrial buildings moving large equipment in and out. Because the door folds up instead of storing overhead or swinging out, you keep full interior headroom and need less apron space in front of the building. They seal tight and can be insulated, so ice, snow, and cold climates are no problem.

Our goal is to provide top quality aviation products at the best possible price. A bifold door is the perfect solution for your R & M Steel building needs — giving you maximum use of your building.
