Abstract (en)

A sectional door system comprising a number of pivotally coupled-together elongate door panels (2), which are movably supported in guide sections (3) near short sides, which sectional door system further comprises an elongate spring system (10) for assisting in moving the door panels. The spring system is connected to first and second mounting plates (14,16) near first and second ends, respectively. The first mounting plate (14) is provided with a pin (26) which is oriented in a plane extending substantially transversely to the door panels (2). The pin (26) includes an angle of at least 5 degrees with the horizontal in an upwardly inclined direction, whilst the first end of the spring system is provided with a plate (31) provided with a passage (41). The passage can be positioned over the pin. At least the first mounting plate (14) and the plate (31) provided with the passage (41) comprise surfaces (22,37) extending at an angle to the vertical, which surfaces will abut against each other once the spring system (10) is connected to the mounting plates (14,16).
