Garage door manufacturer Clopay is introducing a 14 ga steel QuietFlex Hinge designed to be two times quieter than a standard metal hinge during normal door operation.

The new QuietFlex Hinge features self-lubricating nylon bushings that help eliminate metal to metal contact on the hinge, reducing noise, door binding, and daily wear and tear when the door is opened and closed.

“The first thing customers notice about a new garage door is the smooth, quiet operation,” said Justin Evans, Clopay Director of Residential Products. “Regular maintenance can easily quiet a noisy door, but homeowners want long-lasting products with less upkeep. The QuietFlex Hinge is going to operate more quietly over time and perform better, especially on heavy doors.”

The QuietFlex Hinge is available as an upgrade on all Clopay residential garage door models, including WindCode®, and comes standard as part of Clopay’s Gold Bar Warranty package.
