1 I'm working on a project for a client that is putting in a 20' shipping container for concessions at their rodeo fairgrounds. The face of the container will have an opening that is 4' tall X 18' wide and is 3'-6" above the floor. -I'd like to know if this is something you do. -I'd like to know if it's possible to just get the hydraulics for the door or if that needs to come as an entire unit w/ the door included. -If possible I'd like to know different options and prices. Thanks
2 I am looking for a pair of hydraulic doors that are waterproof. I have a warehouse in a flood plain and we have investigated passive flood gates, but I would prefer something we could operate on a switch. One would be 8' wide and 4-5' tall. The other would be ~14' wide and 4-5' tall. We might be able to install ourselves but might be easier to have a dealer help us. The building is cmu construction and the floor is concrete. We have plenty of 3 and 1 phase power as needed.
3 Hello, my firm is currently working on the historic rehabilitation of a home originally built for the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago. Now located in the Indiana Dunes National Park, the home features a tilt-up hanger door approx. 35' wide by 7' tall. Our goal is to recreate this door, assuming that it may need to be segmented into smaller components. Your products appear to match our intent, we would greatly appreciate a call and any drawings/details you can provide. Thank you
4 We recently built a new house. When they were installing the back staircase from the basement to the garage we had the contractor build them where they would be able to be swung up once a hydraulic system and a heavy enough hinge-like system would be available. As at that time we did not know of your company I was looking for a local craftsman. However, the company building the house they're hydraulic handyman has since retired in it's no longer working on projects like this. I came across your name on a YouTube video. I'm curious on what we would have to do and how much it would cost to be able to get this basement staircase to rise to allow us storage under the staircase for a hidden room. I am in central Iowa approximately an hour northwest of the Des Moines metro, near the town of Jefferson Iowa.
5 Prefer Email Have a unique situation where I have a unit with a standard sectional garage door. I need the ceiling height in the unit so need to get the tracks out of the way and the door out of the way when up. Considering a bifold door. I need to use the current sectional door so that it matches the rest of the doors in the unit. Can you build me something custom using the current door that can fit my needs?

7 Hello! I built a mini garage 8’ by 14’ And to be able to drive or ride motorcycles into it I needed the garage door to be a draw bridge because I’m on a hill and there is a dip between the driveway and the garage! So I turned that whole wall into a draw bridge. But now I need to be able to pull it up and down. Which your Hyraulics are just what I need! But it’s a wood door and must be able to be driven onto. How much are your Hydralics as to just buy them not the door? And is it doable? I got a winch and it worked but only pulls the door up a quarter of the way. So I pushed it closed and can’t use it or finish it until I figure out how to fully open and shut my mini drawbridge?
8 I need specs and standard details for a schweiss bi-fold hanger door with top drive and a glass panel door.

10 I have an outbuilding that currently has removable walls that are screwed into place into large wood beams.

Please email with any questions and I can send pictures as well to help.

The floor to bottom of rafters is about 11’9” and are trying to find an option to add a door at the end of building that will allow us to get our 10’8” trailer in. We have seen the bifold on a building and wondered if that might work. We are looking to get an idea of estimated cost for this type of door.

24 We are working with Cal Expo to replace the service access doors at the back of 6 Exhibit Halls on the site. And currently there are (5) with at least (3) different door configurations. We want to provide them with a minimum 20 ft. x 14 ft. pair of panic hardware exit doors, within a frame that opens as much as possible for exhibit delivery as needed, while maintaining building security and durability. Additionally, for at least the (5) 16'x11'-9" openings, we would like all the replacement doors to match (hydraulic or bifold with straps?). The 20' high opening likely would need to be a bifold door. Please contact me, either via email or phone, to discuss possible solutions. Thanks! Paul Kastner HMR Architects

26 I currently have your product on a "hidden" garage door on my house. Everyone loves it. It has proven very reliable equipment over the last 4 years. Great job. So, I'm about to build another new residence next year and have been toying with this idea every time I watch my/your door operate. Have you ever been asked to provide a hydraulic or bifold strap actuated pool cover door? I plan on installing a 18 ft. x 40 ft. rectangular year-round pool.
27 Hi, I am a professor at Georgia Tech and design a telescope, which will be installed in a remote location and will be operated from remote. I am looking for solution that lets me remotely open and close the door of the building in which the telescope is installed. The hydraulic Schweiss doors you offer might be a solution. The idea is to install the telescope inside a Quonset hut and have a door install on one of its ends. The telescope points at the horizon. The door size is roughly 10x10 ft. I would be interested to know if you have a solution and how much it would roughly cost. Best regards Nepomuk Otte

31 Hello, Our office is working on a project that may implement a garage door for a commercial/ community kitchen design. May we get an estimated quote for a 12'h x 8' w hydraulic kitchen door with glass cladding? Thank you.
32 this could be the smallest hydraulic door you have done, 7'-0 wide by 7'-0 high, all insul. glass in frame divisions or one piece of glass with protected edges on a frame. as this location is off grid, it would be nice if the hyd. pump could be operated manually with some sort of pump or wheel action. This would go in a sip wall panel opening by extreme panels
33 Hi. Love the look of your product - both the hydraulic and bifold liftstrap doors. We are currently looking to renovate our front entrance and change our barrier gates. Are your products available in Canada? I see that you have done work in B.C. Do you ship your products to Canada if they are not available through a dealership? Have the doors been installed with grills rather than windows or flat surfaces? Are there concerns about weathering with the straps? We would be looking to have the straps open to the elements at this point (the interior of our campground)? Many thanks!

39 I saw a photo of Sidney's Pizza Cafe where you created fold up windows so that you could view through the window or lift the window out of the way and create a clear opening. I work in the residential design department at AIA Architecture and am interested in using a fold up type window in one of my projects. I currently have two different sized windows in the plan and was wondering if you would be interested in providing an estimated price for each. One is 42" wide x 60" tall; the other is 68" wide x 42" tall. These are estimated window sizes so if the width or height needs to be adjusted for manufacturing purposes, that is certainly a possibility. Also, I feel your Schweiss Designer door products are suitable for a residential application as shown by your many website Must See Photo examples. As an FYI - the 42 x 60 window will be used on an interior wall separating two living spaces, the 68 x 42 will be used an exterior wall separating a kitchen from an outdoor bar area. If interested, would you please provide an estimated cost for each window size?

41 Dear Sir or Madam: We are in the need of an tight sealing Schweiss bifold door, the purpose of this item is to contain the water from the street (the water is actually flowing from the street to our property. The area of the needed door is around 10 m2 (4.5 width and 2.2 height).
42 1. Are your Schweiss bifold or hydraulic emergency door systems suitable for use as part of an emergency smoke relief system for a 130 ft. high commercial office building with an atrium? The idea is that the doors would open up to a courtyard for daily use but would operate as part of an emergency smoke relief system in case of a fire. Are there existing office or industrial uses that do use your doors in this fashion. 2. What are the thermal performance characteristics of your glass doors for use in a modern office building? for a bifolding door 20ft wide and 12 ft. high? Do you have shop drawings of such a door?
