A door system including a sectional door having adjacent panels hinged for moving between a closed vertical position and an open horizontal position, the adjacent panels including at least a top panel, an intermediate panel, and a bottom panel, sets of lower rollers provided proximate the interfaces of the adjacent panels and proximate the lower extremity of the bottom panel, upper rollers carried proximate the upper extremity of the top panel, vertical track assemblies including vertical track sections and reverse angles, the reverse angles interconnecting with a header to form a door mounting system, transitional track members having first track sections and second track sections, and dual horizontal track assemblies having lower horizontal track sections and upper horizontal track sections, wherein the lower rollers are carried by the vertical track sections, the first track sections and the lower horizontal track sections and the upper rollers are carried by the second track sections and the upper horizontal track sections.
A door system for use with an opening defined by a pair of vertically oriented framing members and joined by a horizontally oriented cross member, the door system comprising, a sectional door having adjacent panels hinged for moving between a closed vertical position and an open horizontal position, said adjacent panels including at least a top panel, an intermediate panel, and a bottom panel, sets of lower rollers provided proximate the interfaces of said adjacent panels and proximate the lower extremity of said bottom panel, upper rollers carried proximate the upper extremity of said top panel, said top panel including a top panel extension, and said upper rollers positioned on said top panel extension, vertical track assemblies including vertical track sections and reverse angles, a header spacing said vertical track assemblies and flag angles interconnecting said reverse angles with said header to form a door mounting system, transitional track members having first track sections and second track sections, and dual horizontal track assemblies having lower horizontal track sections and upper horizontal track sections, wherein said lower rollers are carried by said vertical track sections, said first track sections, and said lower horizontal track sections, and said upper rollers are carried by said second track sections and said upper horizontal track sections and wherein said header, said flag angle and said vertical track assemblies of said door mounting system may be preassembled and coupled to the framing members and the cross member.
A door system for use with an opening defined by a pair of vertically oriented framing members and joined by a horizontally oriented cross member, the door system comprising, a sectional door having hinged panels for moving between a closed vertical position and an open horizontal position, rollers mounted on said panels, and a track system directing travel of said rollers when moving said door between said closed vertical position and said open horizontal position and having horizontal track assemblies, transitional track assemblies and vertical track assemblies which include a track section adapted to receive at least one of said rollers, a web adapted to mount to said vertically oriented framing members, and an extension which joins said web to said track section and outwardly spaces said track section from said vertically oriented framing members, wherein said web, said track section and said extension are comprised of a single uninterrupted member, and said extensions and said track sections are jointed by a U-shaped central body portion.
A door system comprising, a sectional door having hinged panels for moving between a closed vertical position and an open horizontal position, rollers mounted on said panels and a track system directing travel of said rollers when moving said door between said closed vertical position and said open horizontal position and having vertical track assemblies having track sections and reverse angles formed of a single uninterrupted member, transitional track members having first track sections and second track sections formed of a single uninterrupted member and horizontal track assemblies having upper horizontal track sections and lower horizontal track sections formed of a single uninterrupted member and joined by a closed U-shaped central body portion, wherein said transitional track members include first receiving channels adapted to telescopically receive said vertical track sections and second receiving channels adapted to telescopically receive said dual horizontal track assemblies, said first track section being connected with said lower horizontal track section and said second track section being connected with said upper horizontal track section.
