Common Garage Door Parts – A Working Vocabulary

Are you the type of person that likes to have an idea of how things in your house work? We’ve got you covered when it comes to garage doors. The following are some of the more common garage door terms along with a brief definition of each.

Horizontal Track

The part of the track at the top of your door opening that is parallel to the floor is referred to as the horizontal track. This is where the garage door rests when it is fully opened.

Vertical Track

The part of the track that is up against the framing on the sides of your garage door is the vertical track. It holds the rollers that assist in moving your garage door up and down.

Extension Springs

Extension springs connect the top of your door to the horizontal track. They work together with your cables to lift your garage door into place.

Garage Door Opener

Your garage door opener works in tandem with your garage door springs to lift and lower the door. This allows you the convenience of being able to automatically operate your garage door without having to manually open and close it. Newer units even allow for the capability to control your garage door opener with your smartphone.

Cables

There are long, steel threaded cables that connect from the bottom of your garage door to your spring system via either drums or pulleys. These cables pull your garage door up and down when the opener operates.

Rollers

Garage door rollers allow the door to roll along the tracks with ease. When these are properly maintained, the rest of your garage door system will operate smoother and last longer.

Torsion Spring

This is attached to your horizontal tracks and pulls up on your cables to lift the door up and down.

Support Bar

This is the horizontal bar that runs along the bottom of your garage door near where it meets the floor. It helps support the weight of your door when it’s open and keeps it from sagging.

Weather Seals

Weather seals ensure a good seal between your garage door and the door frame. This helps to keep cold air out in the winter and heat out in the summer.
