Challenge: Guardian rolls and supplies track and brackets for many garage door OEMs. Sectional garage door track and brackets have remained virtually unchanged for over 60 years as has sectional door assembly. How could Guardian capabilities be utilized to advance the product and provide added value?

Solution: The plastic nylon radius represents a significant advancement in garage door technology. Its unique design offers a sleek appearance and functions as a quiet guide for rollers, enhancing overall operational silence. Additionally, this radius eliminates the need for separate flag bracket and end bearing bracket fastening, as end bearings can be swiftly inserted into position. Installation is simplified with tracks easily sliding into place, providing seamless transitions and straightforward adjustability. Unlike traditional horizontal tracks, the nylon radius is lightweight, facilitating easier shipping and transportation to job sites.
