GLOSSARY

Term

Definition

Bearing Plate Acts as a support for the torsion bar. The bearing plate is typically located above the garage door.

Door Seal

The door seal is located at the bottom of the door and helps to keep outdoor elements from entering the garage.

Drum

Drums are round, grooved spools on the torsion bar that keep door cables orderly.

Extension Springs

Extension springs are NOT compatible with this opener. Extension springs are typically mounted along the horizontal section of the track and extend from the front of the door opening to the back hang. The springs are intended to make a door lighter so you can easily open and close the door by hand.

High-Lift Sectional Door

A type of garage door constructed with multiple panels that slide along a track inside the garage. The track runs vertically up the wall beyond the top of the door opening several inches before encountering the curve in the track. The extended distance above the top of the garage door determines the amount of a high lift.

Protector System®

The Protector System is composed of a set of sensors and transmitters that act as a safety measure to prevent personal injury or property damage caused by a closing garage door. See also: Safety Reversing Sensor.

Roller

Small wheels that allow the door to move up and down the track.

Safety Reversing
Sensor

The safety reversing sensors are a set of sensor eyes that detect obstructions in the path of the garage door. If an obstruction is found, the sensors tell the door to reverse direction.

Torsion Springs

A torsion spring is a type of spring that counterbalances the garage door. The torsion spring is located above the door on the torsion bar. The springs are intended to make a door lighter so you can easily open and close the door by hand. Consult a trained door systems technician if you need the springs adjusted or replaced.

Torsion Bar

A torsion bar is a horizontal metal bar mounted above the garage door. The torsion springs are located on the torsion bar. Most torsion bars are hollow, but some are solid. Some solid torsion bars may have a groove called a keyway that runs the length of the bar.
