The Monolithic Door is best described by its official name: the Monolithic Contoured Laterally Moveable Access Door. Constructed as a one-piece, three-dimensional, curved panel, the Monolithic Door can move laterally on the inside or the outside of a Monolithic Dome.
Instead of inside, the track from which the Monolithic Door hangs can be installed on the dome’s outside. “That’s another advantage,” David pointed out. "That makes it possible to construct a huge Monolithic Dome or Crenosphere as a stadium, for example, and equipping it with a Monolithic Door that, when opened, turns the facility into a huge amphitheater.
“To avoid injuring someone with this 2-ton door, I had the open/close switch mounted on the door so that a person must walk with the door and keep a finger on the switch to keep the door moving,” David explained.
What was invented as a hangar door did not remain just a door for hangars. “As we continued to work with this idea, more uses and possibilities began occurring,” David said. “Because this door can be shaped and sized to fit a specific need, it will work well for shops, factories, garages, storage facilities — even huge stadiums and amphitheaters.”
