Garage Door Hinge - Energy Saving, 4 Panel Doors 12' Wide & Over, MFG# C4416-40

The green hinges work fantastic. I had gaps on both the right and left side of my garage door running from top to bottom. Standard big box store replacement garage door hinges will not work to seal gaps. After replacing the old hinges with the new spring-loaded green hinges, the door now presses-up nice-and-snug against the outer seal, and no more gaps, no more rattling when it is windy, and no more snow & rain creeping in thru the sides. And it was very easy to install. Be sure to follow the instructions on their website for getting the correct hinges for your door, and for installation instructions. This product is a very ingenious solution. And very glad it is made right here in the USA in Wisconsin. It is a bit pricey, but well worth it.

Great product - solid and makes me warm and fuzzy inside that it’s Made in America! Easy install , great directions. Used some white lithium grease on the points they said to lubricate. Paired these with new Penguin Bearings rollers. I had a major gap (about half inch) that these ended up closing all the way for me , with a nice tight seal. Also - a lot quieter than my older ones. My previous hinges were a lot thinner , these are thicker by a lot and also bigger in size , very sturdy pieces. Follow the directions and you won’t have an issue. Already noticing my heat not kicking on as much.

Our garage doors are good quality and well insulated. However, they face west and rattle quite a bit during high winds.from the NW. When it's below freezing outside there's several times the snow or ice didn't melt off our cars inside the garage. So, I did some research on how to resolve this issue. I narrowed it down to Thermotrack railings and green hinge. Thermotrack seemed good but required me to remove the side railings and green hinge was to just replace one hinge at a time. It was a no-brainer for me. I could not be happier! Our doors don't rattle anymore even with the 35-40 mph winds we had the other day. The doors are basically airtight and the temperature in the garage is 20-30 degrees higher than the outside. What really stands out is how I don't even feel a breeze in the garage anymore. The air is still. I decided to add a ceramic heater in the garage and the temperature has been steadily over 40° for the past 3 weeks Even when it's 10° outside. I can't speak enough of this product. I'm extremely impressed and I can't recommend it enough. If you have leaky garage doors you're going to be amazed by this simple upgrade. I added a little video I hope it helps.

The item works as expected and was easy to install. Quality seems decent, but a few details could be improved. Overall, it gets the job done and I'm fairly satisfied with the purchase.

These work great. My garage is under my house. In the winter our basement would be cold and drafty, really bad with storms as the doors would rattle like crazy. Well, I've had them in for a few days now and its quite noticeable how much tighter the door seals to the house. It's July so I can't tell you how it holds up to a nor'easter, but is going to be better. As for cost, yes they are 8x more than a package of Chinese oem style hinges, but they are more complex and they perform a specific function. I think cost is reasonable for me. If they keep the basement warmer then I will save on propane heating costs. Additionally, I just had my garage door guy out two weeks ago to replace some rusted track and I had him replace the bottom seals on eash door. The cost? $250 These new spring hinges were half that and truly finish the job of sealing up the doors. Putting them in was simple and took me less than 30 minutes for two doors. I replaced the rollers too at the same time. So far all works great.

These hinges work at advertised on my 16 foot door. Only very slight issue is the one bolt is a bit hard to get to. Just need open ended wrench to tighten that fourth bolt. Very happy with hinges. I highly recommend !

These hinges have put a stop to the door "breathing" in and out with wind gusts or when the door from the kitchen to the garage is opened or closed. Not only that they've helped eliminate water intrusion at the floor level during rainstorms.

These hinges are well made and can make or break you garage door if you don’t have a clear understanding how mechanical things work. I’ve read some of the 1 star reviews and the complaints listed clearly shows that these people hadn’t a clue of what was causing what they were complaining about and blamed these well made hinges when really, they’ve failed to understand mechanical function of things in general and not just these hinges. If you feel you might be one of these people, I would recommend that unless these hinges are the same EXACT over all measurements as these, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THESE. Unless you’re willing to learn how to readjust the roller rails, you may be in for a big (they don’t fit) surprise. It’s not that they do not fit, it’s that YOU do not have the skills nor understanding on how to readjust guide roller rails/tracks. As far as the manufacturer, where they’ve failed and really do deserve the poor ratings from these folks, you did not include any instruction with the package. A simple guide about general readjustment of the rails/tracks would save you poor reviews. Not everyone is aware of what to do when the door ends up too tight against the wall. Nor any serious warnings about the cable pulleys and cables etc. it really wouldnt take much to show a step by step loosening of the vertical side rails, one side at a time so that you can move them in and out before starting. Without removing any hardware yet, carefully examine the vertical side rail of one side only. DO NOT LOOSEN the top rail or the other side just yet so it keeps things together while you change out each hinge one by one starting from the bottom #1 hinge NOTE when loosening the vertical guide rail/track, do not remove the screws. Just loosen them enough so the you can pull the door away and forward back and forth to the wall. If you’ve got that, you’re ready to begin changing out the hinges one by one. NOTE: (THE LOWER VERY BOTTOM BRACKET IS NOT A HINGE, it’s a bracket that has lots of spring tension pulling upward on a cable that assists the very heavy garage door to be lifted easy by the motor. If you taken that off and it pulls up on you, STOP RIGHT THERE AND CALL A GARAGE DOOR SERVICE PERSON. It’s obvious that you do not know what you’re doing if this happens and you better get some help before you end up with a serious injury. Starting from the #1 hinge remove the hinge and set it flat on the ground side by side with the new number one hinge and compare. Is the new hinge taller than your original hinge? This is why the vertical rail was loosened before starting. You will need to adjust the rail as you work your way upward changing out the hinges. Now if you’ve made it this far and you’ve managed to follow these directions and changed out the first hinge successfully without destroying anything, work your way up to the next 2 or 3 hinges depending on how many panels you have. Work your way to the top hinge. So as you remove each hinge place it side by side with the new hinge. Remember, If the new one is a bit larger in height, this is why you need to loosen the vertical rail because it will need a bit more room to be installed correctly. Once you’ve replaced all 3 of 4 depending on your panel count, pull the rail back and fourth gently but firmly. This will allow you to see where the door sits flush against the wall. Carefully look from the side where you’ve loosened the screws to allow the vertical rail to move. Gently and carefully push the rail toward the wall so that the gap closes between the wall and the door. Gently hold the rail about mid way and tighten that screw in the middle. Now starting from the bottom, finish snugging down the screws to re-secure the rail back so that it doesn’t move out of place. NOTE, you may notice, if these new hinges were taller than the originals, the seam where the vertical rail meets the curve in the horizontal rail, they are not longer aligned. Now it’s time to loosen the horizontal rail so that it can be pulled slightly away from the wall to realign the roller tracks together. Take caution not to remove any screws. As mentioned earlier, the cable and pulley are under a large amount of spring load tension pulling upward. If screws are completely removed, the assembly could possibly come all apart and unwind. Attempting to reassemble these parts without the proper knowledge could possibly cause serious injury and or garage door damage. If you’ve managed to successfully get the guide track aligned and secured, repeat these steps for the other side. Note: after installing these successfully, check the other moving parts to be sure they’re also secure. Retighten any loose screws that weren’t part of the hinges like the inner body hinges, garage door pulling mechanisms etc. those parts can also fail or be loose as well. You’ll be surprised that some screws were loose when they actually appeared tight. If you hear cricks and cracks after changing out the hinges, more than likely other parts of the door mechanisms are possibly loose as well. As far as the product, they’re nice quality. Build wise, pretty firm but a bit bouncy. I don’t really care for the bounce. Maybe just a bit heavier spring would be nice or a shorter swing on the oval hole where the hinge allows for misalignment. Well for doors that are well aligned, the spring tends to bounce the door a little bit seems it would put a little stress on the inner hinges when bouncing. Maybe not. I can’t tell as of yet. I’ll have to see how they fair over time. The fit and finish is excellent. Very nice looking, not to mention the heavier gage metal for the hinge itself. Like I said just a little less slot and a bit tighter spring would make them perfect. Just to limit some of the bounce. Over all, I give them a solid 4 stars. Would have given 5 if instructions were included for others who aren’t quite knowledgeable about mechanical function of things in general. The second reason was the bounce. Not really a problem, but a concern. With that said, compared to other hinges available, there’s really nothing better. My 4 star rating is a general public rating. Beings that I personally do not need instruction etc, I personally give them a 4.75 stars myself. I like them. With a bit more examination and refinement of my adjustments, I was able to stop the bounce to just a slight silent movement. There’s really no way to get the door so perfect like a well running motor. It would be over kill and a bit of a time waster to attempt it. Hope this review helps to make a decision about purchasing. If you don’t feel you can changes these without fear, buy them anyway and have a garage door service install them. Your door should function well and quietly after. If you hear loud noises after they change them out, be sure the service tech checks other functioning parts for tightness. Noise means something isn’t working as designed. Don’t let them tell you that’s just how the doors are, because they are not, if everything is functioning correctly.

Overpriced but well made, will last a long time

Hinge material is twice the thickness of the original. Works by applying pressure against outer door seal. Keeps my door from shaking during a windstorm now. Installation is a breeze, just follow the number that are clearly marked on the hinges. A little on the expensive side, but quality does cost a little more. Installed on a 30 plus year, Wayne Dalton 9 ft. wide door. I am not sooty for buying these and highly recommend them

Springs are very nice and work well.

Easy to install. Does the job as intended.

Love these hinges. They do the job of pushing the door
