• a frame including an elongated header part, said header part including a generally vertical backwall, a topwall, and a transverse wall including a distal end part forming a rail for supporting door panel support rollers;
• a door hanger bracket adapted to be supported by said header part for linear traversal therealong;
• a door panel frame including an elongated, generally vertically extending longitudinal panel frame member;
• and
• an adjustable torsion bar assembly operable to interconnect said hanger bracket with said frame member of said door panel when said door panel is moved from a working position to a pivoted breakaway position with respect to said hanger bracket.
