Will using two coverage boosters boost the signal even more, or interfere with the signal already being boosted? (READ IT! Please! :))?

Question

I work in a large hangar, the cell service inside of which is non-existent. The only exception being a literal box that we taped off. Inside the box however, you get 1 bar on LTE and that is if you're lucky, or if you've sacrificed a farm animal prior to stepping in, and I'm unlucky. 
Now, I don't know about you, but I have commitment issues and a little anxiety... Which is why I don't date... And the cell service has stood me up quite a bit! 
I want you to picture; a pilot. He's flying.. With no maps or GPS, just winging it, because he can't connect to satellites. This is the same thing! Except... I don't fly... And I don't need my phone to work... BUT! Lets face it, I work in aviation. I fix airplanes. Everything is always broken, so I'm at work a lot. I'm just saying, it'd be nice to get a meme every now and then.
That being said, I called TMobile and the woman (who I still picture with an ear to ear grin, absolutely in love with her job. It was heartwarming) sent me the coverage booster kit.
After about 2 days of trying to find the best place for the window unit so that it'd still talk to the coverage unit, I found it. It was like I was 7... It was Christmas Day... There was a brand new blue bike.... I had service in the office!! Oh, the bike was stolen by the way... #buzzkill
Now, if I have a friend (also on TMobile) get his own booster kit, can we use that to take the signal from my coverage unit and blast it into the hangar? Or would it just interfere with my signal?

Maybe, but most likely not, especially if the one unit did not boost the signal enough to use it standing right next to it. The hanger construction is the main issue, being made of steel and concrete as well as OTHER cell signal blocking materials, this is the problem you have to work around. And unless there is a decent signal outside the walls of the hanger, you are not going to have much of a signal to boost anyway.

So unless the hanger has WIFI and you have the password to said WIFI, you are stuck with running outside of the hanger to use your phone or doing without, until the issue is addressed by your employer by getting WIFI access to the work area.

Depending on which booster you get, one for an extremely large office building would be best suited. The source antenna would need to be OUTSIDE, and the cord long enough to allow it to be inside too. Then again, if it's blocking all signal, there is little that could be done. Test out the kit first and verify.
