Product Information

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.
The 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.
