ABSTRACT:
A sectional door includes a plurality of consecutively coupled panels, each panel having at least one profiled form over at least a portion of a length of an end thereof, the at least one form defining a swivel joint between coupled panels. The panels, as coupled, can move between a vertical position and a horizontal position in order to allow door opening or closing. Preferably, the door includes a top panel, a bottom panel and a plurality of intermediate panels coupled there between in which each intermediate panel include a pair of profiled forms along at least part of the length thereof of each end. One of the forms includes an interior curved profile sized to allow the positioning and housing of connecting bars over at least a portion of the length of the profile, the connecting bars being associated to allow moving of all of the coupled panels. When the forms are coupled to define the swivel joint, a profiled matching part can be interlocked therein, the matching part constituting a rider made in one or more parts over the length of the coupled panels and forming a cover providing the closed finish of the formed swivel joint.
