Toolbox Tip - Noisy Door Prevention - Hinge Position

Toolbox Tips - Easy to follow fitting tips for installers. The fitting instructions tell you how to do it, but don’t always give the full picture... …Particularly when it comes to what happens if you don’t do it right!

These little snippets are an easy refresher to help sidestep some of the common mistakes made when fitting CarTeck sectional garage doors. Bite-sized makes it easy to remember!

If you’re not the person fitting doors, make sure you share his with your installers. Saves a headache on site and the time to make a call to find out what the problem is!

Hinge position

“I’ve got creaking popping hinges.”

Align hinges like this and the problem doesn’t occur.

Here’s how to get it right.

Always fit the hinge at the top of the groove! If you fit as a pair, make sure your mate does the same. If all hinges are not aligned, hinge noise, creaking and popping will be the result!
