The role of garage door hinges

Garage doors have several wooden panels that are connected via the hinge. These are also known as center hinges as opposed to the end hinges, which are found at the edges of each panel. The end hinges are the bridge point of the door and the garage door tracks. Since the movement of the door is possible thanks to the rollers that glide through the tracks, there is an end hinge secured on the edge side of each panel – apart from the bottom which wears a bracket. The garage door rollers run through the end hinges and thus the door moves up and down.
