About this file
This document is a technical specification for vertical lift fabric doors for a Combined Weapons Facility (CWF) project. The specification provides detailed requirements for manufacturing, installing, and operating high-performance fabric hangar doors designed for aircraft maintenance environments. Key technical specifications include:
The doors must be fabricated with corrosion-resistant materials like extruded aluminum and heavy-duty vinyl-coated polyester fabric, capable of withstanding wind loads up to 78 mph. The specification mandates complex electrical and mechanical requirements, including electric operators, safety mechanisms, control panels, limit switches, and wind locks. The doors must have a minimum maintenance-free operation of 3 years or 1,500 cycles, with a 3-year warranty on mechanical/electrical components and a 10-year warranty on fabric material. Installation requires precise alignment, testing, and coordination with electrical contractors, with specific requirements for door speed, operational performance, and safety features.

Activate the safety edge when the door is closing and do not allow the safety edge to prevent the door from completely closing and properly sealing along its entire length.
2.3.10 Control Transformers
Provide fused transformers inside of each Main Control Panel as necessary to reduce the voltage on the control circuits to 120 volts or less.
2.3.11 Electrical Components
NFPA 70 . Provide automatic control and safety devices, including failsafe battery powered wireless limit switches or hard-wired limit switches electrified components[ including personnel door interlocks]. Wire rope reel type take-up devices are not allowed. Provide control wiring in accordance with NFPA 70 . Provide conduit, wiring, and mounting of controls in accordance with Section 26 20 00 INTERIOR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.
2.4 HEADER BOX
Construct the header boxes of carbon steel and finished in accordance with the paragraph FINISHES.
2.5 BOTTOM BEAM
Construct the bottom beam of carbon steel and finished in accordance with the paragraph FINISHES. Provide a bottom beam of a suitable width and depth to carry the load of the intermediate beams when the door is not closed, and to ensure full closing and a tight floor seal under full design wind speeds spanning between windlocks located at each jamb.
Provide a heavy-duty bottom rubber seal to form a tight seal with the floor under all design conditions. Provide a bottom edge safety device that is integral with the bottom seal.
Design bottom beams to span between safety arrestors at the jambs and support the weight of the door, including intermediate beams, while remaining stable and within the door guides. If the door leaf safety arrestor alternative is utilized per paragraph DOOR LEAF SAFETY ARRESTERS, design the bottom beam to support the weight of the door, including intermediate beams with either end belt/wire rope, or any two intermediate belts/wire ropes, removed while remaining stable and within the door guides. Midspan splices are prohibited in the bottom beam.
2.6 WIND LOCK
At each door leaf provide wind locks at each jamb, which automatically activate and lock the bottom beam into place when the door reaches its closed position to maintain a tight floor seal and intermediate beam stability with tight fabric under design wind conditions. Provide a limit switch, or a proximity switch, with indicator to notify the door operator
SECTION 08 34 16.20 Page 15 that all wind locks are engaged properly. Provide switches located below 18 inches above finish floor that are compliant with NFPA 70 , Class I, Division 2 hazardous environment.
[] 2.7 OPERATION
2.7.1 Door Operation
Provide a vertical lift fabric door which guides up and down in weather sealed vertical guides attached to the structure[ and mullions]. Provide a door system which operates by lifting the bottom beam upwards in each door leaf, thereby stacking the intermediate beams one on top of the other, with the fabric material folding in pleats. Door operational safety is of paramount importance.
When the door system is fully open, all door system components will be outside of the required clearance area for the door opening.
When the door system is fully closed the door system will seal the opening and form a portion of the building's air barrier. The intermediate beams hang between the two fabric faces thus pulling the fabric material tight and sealing along the guides at each jamb. The tension created in the fabric panels is permitted to stabilize the intermediate beams, if proven capable by the manufacturer, and the bottom beam seal will fit tightly along the entire length of the door threshold.
Submit in accordance with Section 01 78 23 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE DATA. Including wiring diagrams and the complete manufacturer's instructions for operation and maintenance of the doors, door mullions where indicated, and accessories, including emergency operation, in the event of general building power failure to the doors.
2.7.2 Electrical Operation
Provide the main control panel with control logic such that when the integral female pin and sleeve emergency power receptacle is inserted and the integral manual transfer switch associated with the pin and sleeve receptacle is engaged the control panel will automatically limit only one door lift motor or one mullion lift motor to operate at a time.
The door will be stopped by a primary limit switch when the door is opened completely. In case of over travel, the door will be stopped by a secondary limit switch to prevent damage. Slack belt/wire rope breakers will stop the drive unit when the door is closed. In case of belt/wire rope break/rupture or if an obstruction should prevent the door from being closed the slack belt/wire rope breakers will also stop the drive unit.
Weight or springs activate the slack breakers.
Control door operation by three buttons marked "OPEN", "CLOSE", and "STOP". The "OPEN" and "STOP" buttons require only momentary pressure to operate. The "CLOSE" button requires constant pressure to maintain the closing motion of the door. The door will immediately stop, and remain in that position, when the door is in motion and the "STOP" button is pressed or the "CLOSE" button is released. From that stop position, the door operation is then continued in either direction by the "OPEN" or "CLOSE" buttons. Removing the pressure from the "CLOSE" button results in stopping the motor drive and setting the brake.

2.8 FINISHES
2.8.1 Aluminum
Clear Anodized: Conforming to AA-M12-C22-A41 in accordance with NAAMM AMP 500 and complying with AAMA 611. The minimum finish thickness is
0.7 mil or greater.
2.9 SIGNAGE
Provide a placard sign immediately adjacent to all control panels indicating the below Notice. Include the service level wind speed which corresponds to the ultimate wind speed used in design of the open/operational door in paragraph WIND LOADS in the Notice post..
Notice:
Vertical lift fabric doors will be closed and not operated when wind speeds above[ 60 mph ][_____] are expected.
Vertical lift fabric doors will be transferred to back-up power for operation when commercial power is not available.
