Top Hung Rolling Door Bracket

[Carlos B]

Hi Toolmaker51. Yes I chose the sliding door because it takes up no room to operate and since this is an open air workshop/garage getting a tight weather seal was not a big concern. The door comes in about 70 lbs. I come in over 3 times that and can do chin-ups on the rail without budging it. I considered a welded angle iron rail but felt it would be overkill for a door this size. Three brackets similar to this on a bolted and welded angle iron rail will easily support a half ton door, heavier casters would be required so you don't deform the frame and axles. Certainly a lot cheaper than store hardware and just as good if not better.
