Richelieu

Buying Guide: Garage Door Hardware

Garage Door Parts
The steel top and bottom roller brackets are designed to keep your garage door functioning smoothly, and the bottom brackets are sold as left and right pairs. Richelieu also offers steel garage door hinges, and the No.1 hinge is meant for the lowest or second-to-lowest sections of the door. Steel and vinyl rollers, a steel lift handle and a side lock are also available.

Drill Bits and Pilots
Mibro steel screw pilot drill bits are available in sizes 6, 8, 10 and 12, and as a 4-piece set. Select the pilot that matches the screw size, set the drill depth with the set screw to match the length of the screw, and drill until the screw head is countersunk.

Cable, Joinery and Locks
Aluminum cable ferrules clamp cable loops into a closed loop, and aluminum stops finish a cable end or act as a stop at any position on the cable. Fluted wood biscuits are crafted from compressed hardwood and expand with water-based glue for a secure joint. The steel T handle is ideal for storage cabinets, boxes, toolboxes and RV storage.
