Torsion Pole: A solid steel rod around which torsion springs are fixed.

Weatherseal: A rubber strip preventing wind, rain, debris, etc., from entering beneath the garage door, also leveling the floor.

Weight Bar: Added to sectional garage doors to address balance issues with torsion springs.

White Grease: Lithium-based white silicon grease providing long-lasting lubrication to torsion springs.

Windbraces: Internally fitted metal struts fixed horizontally across sectional door panels, the number increasing with door width.
