#1 Garage Door Replacement Hinge – 18 Gauge Standard Hinge for Sectional Overhead Doors
#1 Garage Door Replacement Hinge – 18 Gauge Standard Hinge for Sectional Overhead Doors
This #1 standard hinge connects adjacent garage door sections and allows them to pivot as the door opens and closes. It is a replacement option for compatible sectional doors that specify a #1 hinge and 18-gauge hardware.
Depending on its installation position, the hinge serves as a center section hinge or supports a roller at the door’s side edge.
PRODUCT DETAILS
• Hinge number: #1
• Material thickness: 18 gauge
• Style: Standard sectional door hinge
• Application: Compatible sectional overhead garage doors
• Function: Connects door sections; supports a roller when used in an approved end-hinge position
COMMON INSTALLATION POSITIONS
On many conventional sectional doors, #1 hinges are used:
• At center hinge positions between sections
• At the outside ends between the bottom and second sections
Always follow the door manufacturer’s hardware layout. Specialty doors and proprietary hinge systems may require different configurations.
COMPATIBILITY
Before ordering, compare:
• Number stamped on the existing hinge
• Mounting-hole spacing and overall dimensions
• Required material gauge
• Roller offset and roller-stem fit when used as an end hinge
• Door manufacturer’s hardware requirements
The #1 identifies the hinge configuration; 18 gauge identifies its thickness. Matching the number alone does not guarantee compatibility.
18-gauge material is thinner than 16-, 14-, or 11-gauge material. Do not use this hinge to replace heavier hardware unless the door manufacturer approves the substitution.
INSTALLATION NOTES
Inspect the door reinforcement, mounting holes, fasteners, and roller before replacement. Repair stripped holes or damaged mounting surfaces before fitting the new hinge.
Use the fasteners specified for the door. After installation, confirm that the hinge pivots freely and the sections and rollers move without binding.
SAFETY
Disconnect opener power and secure the door against movement before servicing. Keep fingers clear of hinge pivots and section joints.
Do not loosen springs, lift cables, cable drums, or cable-connected bottom brackets during hinge replacement. Have a qualified garage door technician service doors that are off track, unbalanced, or structurally damaged.
