Our walls and doors are designed to be clad with glass, masonry, wood or other materials. Special remote operators, switches, and high wind loadings are everyday requests at HydAway.
Single-Leaf, Bi-Fold, Tilt-Up, or Roll-Up Doors?
Many people assume the type of door they need, without knowing the advantages of a single-leaf hydraulic door. Single-leaf doors have many benefits that bi-fold and coiling doors won't have. Ultimately, the option is yours with what your space and budget will allow. The HydAway brand now includes bi-fold doors as promoted at IBS 2024, to further accommodate our customers with less space who are still looking for the hidden cylinder option.
Advantages of a single-leaf hydraulic door
-
There is minimal loss of headroom
-
HydAway products connect directly to the header and jamb
-
Single-leaf doors can accept a variety of different cladding options
-
There are fewer moving parts, thereby having less maintenance
-
Single-leaf doors require less material, which in turn means less weight
-
The door does not intrude on the inside of the building, potentially blocking fire suppression systems and lighting

PowerLift Size Chart
The chart shows inches lost on each side and inches lost in height. 3/5 means a 3″ loss on each side (total width loss of 6″) and 5″ of headroom lost.
For retrofits, PowerLift’s unique outside mount system offers zero width/height loss. This is a general chart and does not include all available sizes.
