#4 Garage Door Replacement Hinge – 14 Gauge Standard Hinge for Sectional Overhead Doors

This #4 standard hinge connects adjacent garage door sections and supports the roller at the door’s side edge. It allows the sections to pivot during opening and closing while maintaining the roller offset required at a #4 hinge position.

Use it to replace a worn, bent, or cracked matching hinge on a compatible sectional overhead door.

PRODUCT DETAILS

• Hinge number: #4
• Material thickness: 14 gauge
• Style: Standard end hinge with roller carrier
• Application: Compatible sectional overhead garage doors
• Function: Connects door sections and supports the roller stem

HINGE POSITION AND NUMBER

On doors using a conventional graduated hinge arrangement, #4 end hinges typically connect the fourth and fifth sections, counting from the bottom.

The #4 identifies the roller-offset configuration; 14 gauge identifies material thickness. Follow the door manufacturer’s hardware layout rather than selecting a hinge by door height alone.

COMPATIBILITY

Before ordering, compare:

• Number stamped on the existing hinge
• Mounting-hole spacing and overall dimensions
• Roller-carrier offset
• Roller-stem diameter
• Door manufacturer’s required hardware gauge

A matching hinge number alone does not guarantee fit. Proprietary door systems and specialty track arrangements may require different hardware.

14-gauge material is thicker than 16- or 18-gauge material and thinner than 11-gauge material. Do not replace a required heavier hinge with this version unless the door manufacturer approves the substitution.

COMMON USES

• Replacement of damaged #4 end hinges
• Sectional garage door maintenance
• Repairs requiring a standard #4 roller offset and 14-gauge hardware

INSTALLATION NOTES

Inspect the roller, mounting holes, and door reinforcement before replacement. Repair stripped holes or damaged attachment points and use the fasteners specified for the door.

After installation, verify that the hinge pivots freely and the roller moves through the track without binding. A new hinge will not correct track misalignment or an unbalanced door.

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.
