Specialty Doors + Automation · Long Beach, California
Elephant Doors designs, furnishes, installs, and repairs oversized acoustic doors for soundstages, aerospace, and testing facilities. In business since 1996, from our Long Beach shop.
What we do
A door this size is not an off-the-shelf purchase. It is designed for the opening, built for the sound rating, and serviced for the life of the facility.
Door systems sized and engineered around your opening and your acoustic target, not adapted from a catalog size.
We furnish the full system and install it on site, including electric operation and controls on the larger systems, where a swinging door is simply not practical.
Existing elephant doors, acoustic seals, and operators repaired and kept working, including systems we did not originally build.
Large acoustical sliding doors for movie studios and soundstages, built to suppress machinery, traffic, and background sound so a stage stays quiet while the world keeps moving outside.
Oversized doors for aerospace, testing, and industrial facilities where the opening is huge, the sound must be controlled, and the door has to work every time.
Overhead, swinging, horizontal sliding, or a special application, with security and weather resistant features incorporated where the project calls for them.
Why Elephant Doors
On a soundstage, a door is part of the recording equipment. If it leaks sound, the take is lost. That is why these doors are built as acoustic assemblies, with seals and insulation inside, and sized to close openings a standard commercial door cannot cover.
The systems run large. Typical elephant doors measure around 18 feet by 20 feet or larger, and the vast majority are electrically operated because of their size.
Our customers include Disney Studios and Sunset Studios. When a studio trusts a door to hold silence on a working stage, that door has to be right.
