Butzbach hangar doors integrate a safety edge device on the leading edge of each door leaf that stops the leaf on contact and initiates a reversing return movement to protect personnel in the path of travel. Manually operated leaves additionally carry an adjustable pendulum brake fitted in each leaf that engages if the leaf exceeds a set speed and releases automatically once stopped, without adding to the manual opening/closing force.
