The Essential Components Behind Every Garage Door

The Essential Components Behind Every Garage Door

 

When it comes to garage doors, most people only think about the visible, exterior panel that opens and closes. However, behind this panel lies a system of components that work together seamlessly to ensure smooth, reliable operation.

Garage Door Panels

The panels are the most visible part of a garage door, and they come in a variety of materials, including steel, aluminum, wood, and composite materials. Each material offers its own unique benefits in terms of durability, insulation, and aesthetic appeal.

Garage Door Hardware

The hardware components are the backbone of any garage door system.

Garage Door Springs

Doorix garage doors use two types of springs to balance the door's weight and provide lifting power. 

 

  • Torsion springs: mounted horizontally above the closed door, parallel to the top section. These torsion springs wind and unwind to generate the lifting force.
  • Extension springs: mounted vertically just above the horizontal track, perpendicular to the closed garage door. Extension springs get their lifting power by stretching when the door is opened.

Custom-Fit Track

Doorix garage doors use heavy-gauge steel construction to ensure stability and longevity. The track system for each door is custom-made and can be precisely adjusted for a perfect fit.

Strong Hardware and Quiet Rollers

Doorix garage doors use high-quality steel hinges engineered to bear the weight of the door when in the closed, upright position. Our Core Hardware System features powder-coated components like springs, track, brackets and hinges providing a clean, finished look along with maximum protection against rust, ensuring smooth and quiet operation.

Weather Seal

To protect against the weather, Doorix garage doors feature a vinyl bottom weatherseal securely held in place by a sturdy aluminum retainer. This helps prevent wind and rain from entering under the door, ensuring a tight weatherproof seal.

At Doorix, we understand that the quality of the components is paramount to the overall performance and longevity of a garage door system. That's why we use only the finest materials and stringent manufacturing processes to ensure that our products meet the highest standards of excellence.
