Garage Door Hardware Kit for Universal Use

One-Piece Garage Doors: A Comprehensive Overview

Across the United States, particularly in the western regions, millions of one-piece, jamb-mounted garage doors have been installed and are operational. These one-piece garage doors offer several advantages, such as easy installation, less headroom required in the garage, and the ability to fit in tighter spaces compared to sectional doors.

E900 Hardware: The Complete Solution for One-Piece Garage Doors

The E900 Universal One Piece Garage Door Hardware Kit is the complete lift-system replacement for one-piece garage doors (springs sold separately). Constructed with heavy-duty steel, the E900 has a maximum weight capacity of 350 pounds. It is compatible with one-piece garage doors ranging from 6 ft. 10 in. to 7 ft. 4 in. in height, and the heavy-duty jamb hardware can be installed for garage doors with a width of 6 ft. to 16 ft.

Jamb Type One Piece Hardware: The Hinged Mechanism

Jamb-type one-piece garage door hardware is essentially a pair of hinges (also known as four-bar linkages), which are mounted to the door and the door jambs. The motion of the door is controlled by the geometry of the hinges, and the weight of the door is counterbalanced by extension springs, which are attached to each hinge.

Balanced Door Lift and Even Wear: Replacing Springs

For optimal performance and even wear, it is recommended to replace all springs at the same time to ensure a balanced door lift.
