ArmorTite™ Counterbalance System

ArmorTite Close-upThe spring system that lifts your garage door is called the counterbalance. You've seen it above your garage door, a combination of springs, pulleys and drums working together. And, while this mechanism is an essential part of your door, its exposed components tend to be somewhat unsightly.

Overhead Door's Armortite is a totally new concept in garage door counterbalance systems. It combines high-tech good looks with a durable, low maintenance design.  The Armortite will add a cleaner, more finished look to your garage. The aluminum spring barrel and galvanized torsion tube give the Armortite a polished, high quality appearance. And its all-metal construction is made for durability and low maintenance. There are no plastic parts.

From a safety standpoint, the Armortite is the only Overhead Door counterbalance system available that is compliant with DASMA 103 standard for tamper-resistance. The spring barrel completely covers the spring for added safety.  The Armortite system gives you added door selection flexibility because:

  • ArmorTite is able to lift doors up to 500 pounds
  • Works on all residential door widths and heights
  • ArmorTite is available with an extended life, high-cycle spring option
