Is anyone having problems with Hydroswing orders? I paid my deposit on May 2010 and still no door Oct-27-2010, multiple excuses on their behalf and of course my deposit of 50% is still with them. Please contact me directly at joey_trivia@hotmail.com
I have found three other fellows that are on the same situation…

Schweiss doors are the very best money can buy.As a building erector for 25 years i have hung just about everthing out there.I have been out of the erection business now for 5 years and now i am in the sales area of steel buildings.I always call Schweiss the doors come in one piece for smaller doors .This means you unload the door and hang it .When planning for a large door of this type you will need the Door,sheeting,trims,insulation,delivery,unloading and installer.But also be sure your building is correctely loaded to support a very heavy load of the door weight.

I have installed and used Schwiess, Hydroswing and Horton Stack doors recently. I like the Horton because it is manual, works easily and is easy to install. And it is just about bulletproof. Schweiss gave me great service when I had a problem but their big bi-fold is always snapping and popping during opening and their lock up is Rube Goldberg-like if you ask me and keeping it adjusted is problematic. The Hydroswing is a good door and they give good service. Have heard that Wilson is good too. But for my money I would still go for the Horton. It’s a dead simple idiot-proof design that can handle really heavy wind and they too are great with service. The Horton comes with a translucent skin that makes a hangar a much brighter place that is much easier to work in. Most of the other doors come without skin.

I bought a Hi-Fold door about 5 years ago. Works great. Most of my neighbors have this brand of door and we have had very few problems with them. They also open higher than any other bi-fold door. Would definitely buy from again.

I installed a Hydroswing door myself with one helper 1 1/2 years ago. The door went in easily and as advertised. I had a small problem with the hydraulic pump after 1 year and Hydroswing replaced it with out hesitation at no cost. I would paint the door again before installation, it comes painted, but not as well as I like. We did not need a crane to unload or install. The door is 12 X 40 and we unloaded and installed it easily with a rented fork lift. I would be glad to talk anyone though the process, just call. 512-250-3462

I purchased a Hydroswing door in 2000 for my hangar-home. I’m not impressed. My door shuts unevenly, even after their after-market modification. One side shuts slightly faster than the other side causing a certain amount of shaking and roughness. Two hydraulic specialists have improved this door but I am still disappointed. My door also creeps open an inch or two regularly requiring constant closing.
