What Happens When the Wrong Overhead Door is Installed in a Large Opening?

Large openings require additional considerations when choosing the right overhead door. Not only does the greater width and height need to be taken into account but all components need to be up for the challenge.

What can go wrong:

  • Structural strain. Flexing, bowing and sagging can occur if too much stress is put on the tracks, spring and framing.
  • Impact on operations and productivity. Not enough power can cause slower opening and closing and strain that lead to breakdowns and delays.
  • Wind load and pressure issues. Larger openings mean more surface area on the panel and proper features are needed to better withstand those challenges.

High-performance doors designed for large openings take all these factors into consideration and are built tougher with heavy-duty components, motors and materials that can support the added pressure.
