Sliding Doors – 500 and 100 Series

Photo Caption – see right
The Space Hangar at the SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION NATIONAL AIR & SPACE MUSEUM at Dulles International Airport utilizes an outside mounted FLEMING SERIES 500 6-Leaf BIPARTING door system for a clear opening 98'-6" wide by 40'-0" high. The Tail Slot was a special consideration. Due to the fact that the Shuttle will be moved infrequently, a removable bolt-in platform; which carries the top guides for the Slide door was used rather than a motorized Tail Door system.

OUR TRACK RECORD PROVES IT
Number one in the world; Fleming’s Airline Quality Doors are unsurpassed for reliability. Engineered with exacting standards, then skillfully manufactured, each hangar door is the perfect complement of design, material and workmanship. The Fleming team is a pioneer of such remarkable innovations as “Unit Drive” operators, pneumatic safety stops, positive closing devices, electronic “SOFT START/SOFT STOP” systems and many others.

SLIDE DOORS FOR CORPORATE HANGARS-COMMUTER AIRLINES AND FIXED BASE OPERATORS

Prudent Corporate Executives, Commuter Managers and FBO’s insist on time proven, trouble-free hangar doors to protect costly aircraft. They demand fast, reliable, all weather operation; minimum maintenance; security against break in; doors meeting underwriter’s requirements. Many FBO, Commuter and Corporate hangars incorporate tail doors in their construction for aircraft with high and wide tails and to provide for future aircraft acquisitions.

Their exacting requirements are filled by Fleming’s motorized slide doors of the UNIDIRECTIONAL, BIPARTING, FLOATING GROUP and INDIVIDUALLY OPERATED types. They can be installed on any pre-engineered or custom designed hangar facility.

With Fleming’s Series 100 or 500 slide door, no part of the door weight is supported by the building. Moving smoothly over rails in the floor, the Fleming door is positively guided by top rollers that travel in overhead guides. Slide doors - either inside or outside mounted - stack when open in pockets, cantilevered guides or at the jambs. Special features such as personnel and truck doors, fuselage apertures, sash, plastic panels, louvers, etc. can be provided.

Semi Pre-Engineered Series 100 and Custom Built 500 doors are produced to the same “Sound Design Practical Construction – Fine Workmanship” criteria. They feature Fleming’s nationally renowned “Unit Drive” and “Torque Tube” motor operators whose fewer moving parts keep routine maintenance to the barest minimum.

Architectural harmony is readily accomplished using formed door coverings of any configuration, material, and color. Sash or plastic panels, louvers, personnel doors, truck doors, insulated, to individual requirements. Fleming engineering provides entry for the tails of the largest aircraft with custom designed TAIL DOORS. Located above the slide doors, TAIL DOORS are commonly made in three motor-operated types: LIFT, SWING and CANOPY.

Design, layout information, specifications, and budget costs will be furnished by any Fleming representative.

THREE TYPES OF SLIDE DOORS

The three most popular types of motorized slide doors are:

1. INDEPENDENT (or commonly referred to as INDIVIDUALLY MOTOR OPERATED doors)
2. UNIDIRECTIONAL
3. BIPARTING

UNIDIRECTIONAL leaves can be of the Anchored Group type in which the jamb leaf anchored at the building jamb, thereby limiting movement to open and close.

BIPARTING leaves can be of the ANCHORED GROUP or the FLOATING GROUP type. FLOATING GROUP leaves are inter-connected each other, but are not attached to the building in any way, and can open from either direction and move as a group abreast of each other.

DRIVE OPTIONS
Fleming’s highly acclaimed “UNIT DRIVE” motor operators are fast, dependable and rugged. Optional “SOFT START” and “SOFT STOP” electronic packages are available on all SERIES 100 & 500 DOOR SYSTEMS. Among Fleming’s wide choice of styles, there’s type to fit your installation needs.

BOTTOM DRIVES, TRACTION or FIXED CHAIN styles can be used with Unidirectional and Biparting doors, mounted on leading leaves or jamb leaves, or fixed at the jambs of the opening. The TRACTION style drives one or both wheels by chain and sprocket mechanism; FIXED CHAIN has a positive drive between it and the adjacent leaf.

LINEAR or WRAP-AROUND CABLE SYSTEMS can be used with the drive systems to connect the idler leaves to the drive leaves and move them to the open or closed position.

Filling the opening is an 8-leaf INDIVIDUALLY MOTOR OPERATED Fleming Series 500 door system. Mounted within four of the eight hangar door leaves are four (4) 12'-0" wide by 15'-0" high single section VERTICAL LIFT (THRESHOLDLESS) TRUCK DOORS.

Pictured are four of the eight 160'-0" wide by 73'-0" high by 2'-0" thick Individually Motor Operated doors' leaves stacked behind each other and are powered by tandem Fleming electronic "SOFT START / SOFT STOP UNIT DRIVE" motor operators.
