1. Application

This equipment is used to produce U-shaped and Hat-shaped garage door struts from galvanized steel coils. Common applications include:

  • Residential and commercial garage door panels

  • Sectional door reinforcement

  • Industrial overhead door support

  • Customized door stiffening bars

Strut thickness options typically range from 14–24 gauge (1.0–3.0 mm).

7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Garage door strut braces (also called garage door struts, reinforcement struts, or stiffener bars) are long, U-shaped or hat-shaped steel channels installed horizontally on sectional garage door panels.
They are usually made from galvanized steel to provide strength and corrosion resistance.

A strut brace reinforces each panel of the garage door, helping it stay rigid and stable during opening, closing, and daily operation.

1. Reinforce and Strengthen Door Panels

Garage door panels can flex or bend, especially large or thin panels.
Strut braces add rigidity, preventing the door from twisting or bowing.

2. Support Automatic Garage Door Openers

If the door is operated by a motor, the opener pushes/pulls the top section.
A strut brace gives the top panel enough strength to handle this force.

3. Increase Door Lifespan

By reducing panel stress and structural wear, strut braces help the door last longer and reduce maintenance costs.


Where Are Strut Braces Commonly Installed?

  • Top section of the garage door

  • Middle sections for large doors

  • Every panel for high-wind-rated commercial doors

Thickness usually ranges from 14–24 gauge galvanized steel.

  • Automatic Garage Door Strut Manufacturing Machine
  • Door Strut

8. Safety Instructions

  • Never place hands near the roll station during operation.

  • Always disconnect power before adjusting tooling.

  • Emergency stops are located at the entry and exit ends.

  • Wear gloves and safety glasses when changing dies.

This strip in the profiling stands progressively transforms towards its final shape.This process respects the mechanical and characteristic stresses of the metal and allows the use of multiple grades of steels.Two horizontal shafts of each head are controlled by the motor of the machine, which ensures a regular drive of the strip.During the cold roll forming, operations such as punching holes, stamping logo, can be done online.
Then, the final metal section is cut by hydraulic servo cutoff machine to the desired length.
