GARAGE DOOR PARTS
Garage Doors With Attitude
Springs
Doors don’t depend on the motor to create all the energy needed to raise the door because that would take a ton of force and wouldn’t be the most effective technique. The motor controls the course of the motion and the arrangement of torsion springs over the door makes that motion simple.
Springs hold flexible likely energy, which can create sufficient power to adjust the garage door’s weight. That is the reason in the event that you lift a garage door manually, you’re not dealing with any place close to the entire weight of the door.
Cables
The link between the garage door and its opening mechanism comes in the form of metal lifting cables on both sides of the door. The lower part of each garage door cable interfaces with the lower part of the door, while the top connects to the drum. At the point when the drum pivots, it starts moving up the cables. As the cables are pulled vertically, they lift the door with them.
Drums
The garage door drums rest on the ends of the torsion bar and twist as the garage door lifts or lowers, moving up the cables or spooling them out. This mechanism aids in balancing out the door and keeps the cables directed so the garage doors system maintains balance.
Brackets & HInges
Brackets and hinges both play a job identified with keeping the garage door mechanism associated. Brackets are the metal parts that keep the garage door cables and rollers secured to the sides of the door.
Hinges are located in the middle of the garage door itself. The door is made up of many door panels so it can fold as it opens, allowing it to change easily from standing upward to lying horizontally. The hinges are what make this possible, keeping the panels associated and at the same time allowing them to fold.

Rollers & Tracks
Rollers move along the track and permit the way to travel easily when lifting or bringing down. Rollers are for the most part produced using steel or nylon and can influence the level of noise your garage door system makes. Nylon is believed to be more discreet yet the number of bearings in every roller greatly affects the noise created than what the roller is produced from.
Very much like a railroad track, the track in your door is the thing that keeps everything going the correct way. The track houses the rollers and directs the door as it lifts and brings down. Tracks are produced using steel and they can be installed at standard or non-standard height.
Safety Sensor
All garage door openers made since 1992 come with infrared safety sensors that can distinguish if something is in the way of the door and stop it from closing on people, pets or objects. The sensors are little boxes or cylinders and they are set under 6 inches off the ground, one on each side of the door.
