Angle Iron, what is it?

What is angle iron and why is it important to your garage door?

Angle iron is used to connect your track and garage door opener to your ceiling. Using the right gauge is important; too light of a gauge and the iron can bend, then your garage door and opener can fall on your car or you!


Pictured above is an opener with angle iron hanging from the ceiling. I used this picture to show where the angle iron is located. However, in this picture the opener is clearly hung wrong. The safety sensors should not be hanging next to the opener! We fixed this opener at one of our service calls.
