ABSTRACT:
Multi-sectional garage doors tend to bow downwardly in the middle because of the weight of the door. A simple solution to this problem is to provide a reinforcing device on the lowermost horizontal panel, the device including a pair of elongated bars for extending between the bottom center of the panel and the upper outer corners thereof, so that the load on the center of the door is transferred to the sides thereof to prevent sagging. The elongated bar is formed in sections interconnected end-to-end, one of the sections being a turnbuckle for adjusting the upward pull on the bottom of the door.
