Tracks

All garage doors come with a set of tracks placed on both sides of the door, often known as the vertical or horizontal tracks. These tracks direct the section while lowering or raising a garage door. There is a curved portion of the track known as the radius. If the track is malfunctioning its a sign that your door will stop working.

Handles

Handles are the central part of any general garage door. They allow it to be opened manually. The handles are placed on shoulder height and are securely fastened for easy usage.

Brackets

A locking bar works by blocking the track using a bolt. This is commonly done through a sliding lock, release system, or a T-handle lock.

Sectional Garage Door Parts

Sectional garage doors are made with differing numbers of panels. The number of panels depends on the width and height of the door.

A standard sectional door has 4-5 panels that open upwards and overhead. The panels are held with the assistance of a torsion system that balances the garage door’s weight. The following are the parts that are found only in sectional garage doors.

Rails

The rails are a part that is usually bolted to the wall. It is suspended from the roof for riding in as it goes up and down.

The rails have two main pieces. One is the vertical piece attached to the roof on both sides of it. The other piece is horizontal, and in this, the door rests in on opening.

Cables

These are tied to the brackets located at the bottom of all sides of the door. These cables work in union with the springs for lifting and lowering the total weight as required.

Hinges

Hinged panels roll on vertical rails on all sides of the door. The hinges are used to connect the panels when wheels on the panel roll with the rail on opening and closing the sectional garage door.

You can get steel line hinges or locks at our shop with just a few clicks.

Springs

The sectional garage door consists of high-tension springs that make it easier to open and close. The springs do the heavy lifting and can keep it from closing when it is partially open.

Rollers

Rollers are an essential part of a sectional garage door. These are known as rod and wheel system that attaches the door to the rails. Thus, enabling the sectional garage door to open and close smoothly and swiftly.

Wind Struts

Wind struts are known as the horizontal bars attached to the back of the sectional garage door. These are designed to give rigidity and strength to the panel.

So when a sectional garage door is completely open, it will sag right in the middle. With time this flexing action will cause the panel to split or crack. And the wind struts stop that from happening.

Tilt Door Parts

Tilt doors consist of a single big panel that is attached to two hinges and different springs right at the top on both sides. In order to open the garage door, it is lifted, and then it tilts back and on top of the building with swinging out and up action.
