The quality of all our commercial & industrial garage door hardware is exceptional. Still, a choice must be made depending on the degree of sturdiness required and the number of daily open/close cycles.
Here are some recommended typical systems:
Our sturdiness scale
| HARDWARE: | LIGHT DUTY - 14-gauge steel tracks and mounting brackets*
- Pull rope
- Single hinges
| HEAVY DUTY - 13-gauge steel tracks and mounting brackets*
- Pull chain
- Single or double hinges
| SUPER HEAVY DUTY - 12-gauge steel tracks and mounting brackets*
- Pull chain or chain hoist
- Single or double hinges
- Reinforcement bars
|
* The lower the gauge number, the thicker the steel.
The spring acts as a counterweight to facilitate the opening of the door. Choosing a spring depends mainly on the daily number of open/close cycles your door will undergo.
| SPRINGS: | LIGHT DUTY | HEAVY DUTY - 25,000- to 100,000-cycle springs
| SUPER HEAVY DUTY - Springs for over 100,000 cycles
