Product Description
Garage Door Struts – Built for Professional Performance
For installers, garage door struts aren’t just an add-on—they’re an essential component for door longevity and customer satisfaction. Struts reinforce the door panels to prevent bending or sagging, especially when the opener engages the top section. They also provide critical wind-load support, reducing call-backs and warranty claims.
When you’re working in high-wind zones or on oversized doors, additional struts are an easy upsell that delivers long-term value and reliability for your customers.
Professional Advantages
- Structural Reinforcement: Maintains panel integrity under opener stress.
- Wind-Load Protection: Mitigates panel distortion in high-wind regions.
- Code & Best Practice Compliance: Doors over 14' wide should have at least one strut; opener-equipped doors require a top-panel strut.
- Reduced Service Calls: Prevents premature panel failure and costly repairs.
- Customizable Support: Add multiple struts for heavy-duty or high-exposure installs.
