What Is a Garage Door Strut?

A garage door strut is a steel reinforcement bar that runs horizontally across a garage door section, adding rigidity so the door can withstand wind pressure and the stress of an automatic opener. Minnesota Metals manufactures struts in 2-1/4" and 3" hemmed widths, in 20-gauge and 22-gauge galvanized and galvannealed steel, cut to length for distributors and manufacturers.
