Sturdy garage loops guarantee reliability

Garage doors are always associated with impressive size and large, even very large weight. Therefore, huge loads are placed on the garage hinges. They must withstand the weight of the gate, not subject to deformation, to protect the leaf from skewing, to ensure accurate and even closure without significant effort. In addition, the fasteners must be resistant to wear and cuts. Metal products of this type are manufactured taking into account the increased requirements for their strength from wear - resistant high - alloy steel.

As the gate to the garage is set very different - from simple wooden doors to high-tech structures, then the hinges for garage doors are released in the range. Dimensions, material and design features of the canopies depend on the functional load they have to perform. Garage loops make a diameter of 16 to 50 mm, round or drop-shaped section, with a bearing, with a washer, with a ball.

For large-sized heavy wings use hinges in which the pin rests on the thrust ring and the ball bearing system. Such a device increases the service life of the gate, prevents them from skewing and sagging, allows you to open the doors silently and smoothly. For lighter wings and wickets are suitable garage hinges on the ball. Their design is simple: a high-strength metal ball is placed on the bottom of the hood, on which the pin rests. Due to this arrangement of the rotary mechanism, the friction is reduced, which increases the life of the loop itself. Usually there are four canopies for a metal standard gate, but sometimes an additional pair of fasteners is installed.

Some owners of garages prefer teardrop-shaped garage loops (also called Finnish ones), which provide a stronger attachment to the metal door leaf. They are fastened by means of electric arc welding, and it is the drop-shaped section that makes it possible to make an improved weld seam. The main advantage of such awnings is the simplicity and high quality of the material. The efficiency of the hinges is ensured by the ball bearings integrated into them, the adjustment, very simple and convenient, is carried out with a special screw. The body is made of heavy-duty profiled steel. Teardrop-shaped hinges withstand the weight of even very massive gates and ensure their long-term operation.

For effective protection of the gate from hacking, hidden garage loops have been developed. The price for them is slightly higher than for conventional ones, which is justified by a number of advantages. These mechanisms are installed directly inside the profile. They are almost impossible to cut, they do not require care and are much more durable, since they are covered by this very profile. But, what is especially important, hidden hinged devices allow to open the gate 180 degrees, which is very convenient for the garage owner. The installation of such loops requires certain skills and, as a rule, is performed by professionals, but recently the output of the gate with the hidden hinges embedded in them has been established, so problems with the insertion of such mechanisms can be avoided.

The required number of loops is recommended to be purchased in one package or at least from one manufacturer. This will ensure a good fit of the flaps and facilitate the adjustment of their position in width and height.
