Door Section Identification

Graduated end and center hinges are always pre-attached at the top of each section (except 

top section) and the graduated end hinges are stamped for identification, #1, #2, #3, #4 and 

#5. The stamp identifies the stacking sequence of the section. The sequence is always de-

termined by #1 being the bottom section to #4 or #5 being the highest intermediate section. 

If the stamp on the graduated end hinge is illegible, refer to the section side view illustration. 

The section side view illustration shows the graduated end hinge profile of all sections, and 

can also be used to identify each section.
The 

BOTTOM SECTION

 can be identified by #1 graduated end hinges, the factory attached 

bottom astragal, the factory attached bottom corner brackets, and by the bottom corner 

bracket warning labels on each end stile.
The

 LOCK SECTION

and by #3 graduated end hinges on a 3 section high door. Also, on a 3 section door, the lock 

section will come with a warning label attached to the right or left endstile.
The 

INTERMEDIATE SECTION I

 can be identified by #3 graduated end hinges (Only on a 

4 section high door). The section will have a warning label attached to either the right or left 

hand end stile.

NOTE:

 #4 graduated end hinges are used on the fourth section of five section doors.

The 

INTERMEDIATE SECTION II

The 

INTERMEDIATE SECTION III
