Bearing Plate
Acts as a support for the torsion bar. The bearing plate is typically located above the garage door.
Cable Tension
Monitor
The cable tension monitor detects any slack in the garage door cables. Failure to properly install the
cable tension monitor may cause the cables to be thrown and may result in a hazardous situation.
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.
