Straighten Garage Door Strut

Sorry for some reason i d.

Straighten garage door strut.

These struts can be straightened by locking the door removing the strut and straightening it. Purchase four strut clips if you have a wood door or two strut clips per stile for steel doors. A 16 wood door should have 3 or more struts but insulated steel doors should have at least two. Struts frequently bend when an opener lifts a 16 foot steel door that has a broken spring.

Doors over 10 feet wide usually have at least one strut across the top panel. A garage door strut is a metal piece designed to provide horizontal strength and rigidity to a garage door panel. Struts can be installed on any of the panels. Struts provide additional support for the garage door panel s and help prevent bending of the panel s.

Five star doors adds an additional strut to all our garage door installs. Stiles are the metal braces that run from the top to the bottom of a door section. This will often leave a one to three inch gap in the center of the top section. Most residential doors have a strut pre installed at the top of the top panel on the garage door.

You will then need to straighten the top section and reinstall the strut. When we add one or more struts to your door we factor in the additional weight. Many doors come standard with a strut acros. Measure the width of your door with a tape measure.

Is your garage door popping or making a loud thud when you are opening or closing it.
