Trackless Pivot Hardware — Moenave Garage Doors
Trackless pivot garage door from the street

No track. No motor overhead. The whole system mounts to the wall.

The Trackless Pivot kit replaces the overhead track and ceiling opener with hardware that bolts to the wall on either side of the opening. The door tilts up in one piece and stays in the opening.

It uses standard sectional panels, so you keep the door style you want. Kits ship anywhere in the lower 48 and install by any garage door company. From $3,900.

Reclaim the Ceiling

The garage is part of the house.

Overhead track and a ceiling motor were the only option for a long time. Garages were small, low, and nobody spent time in them.

That's changed. New homes are built with 9 and 10 foot openings, and the garage is a shop, a gym, a place people actually spend time. With that much height, the door has room to rotate and stay in the opening.

A finished room that still opens up

Show garages, gyms, shops, entertaining space. People want the whole wall to open when the weather is good, and cars and boats to come and go, without a steel track running over the top of it.

The ceiling goes back to being useful

Lights, fans, overhead storage, a car lift, a gym rig, a full backswing. Plan the ceiling around what you want up there.

Panel Compatibility

Use the door you want.

The hardware works with most common sectional panels. Your installer sources them in whatever style you pick — composite overlay, plank, flush, or full-view glass. The mechanism doesn't care what the door looks like.

When a Sectional Won't Fit

Some garages have no room for a normal door.

A sectional needs the ceiling. It needs track to travel back on, a rail for the motor, and clear space the full depth of the door. Plenty of garages don't have that, and the answer has always been that you can't have a garage door there.

Beams, ceiling fans, ductwork, piping, another door in the same bay, or just not enough depth — a sectional has to fight all of it. This system never touches the ceiling, so none of it applies.

The Hardware

What we actually make.

The mounting hardware and guide system. It ties standard sectional panels into one rigid door that rotates open. Everything else — panels, springs, motor — your installer sources locally.

Trackless pivot hardware components
01

Panels lock into one piece

The pivot linkage ties standard sectional panels into a single rigid leaf. No flex, no rattle.

02

Center lift point

Force applied at the center of the door keeps it balanced through the full arc.

03

Wall and header only

Two mounting surfaces, both vertical. No ceiling penetrations anywhere in the install.

04

Built around the LiftMaster 98022

Slide lock integration, photo eye mounts, and drive sprocket all included for the 98022 jackshaft.

Sealing

Designed in the desert, for the desert.

The door leaf is narrower than the opening, so sealing it was the first problem we had to solve. Overlapping parts close off the perimeter when the door comes down, and our side seals come mounted on the hardware itself, pressing against the edges of the door.

Nothing gets screwed to your jambs. And keeping the heat out and the cool air in isn't a small thing when the system was developed under a southern Utah sun.

No hinges, no rollers

What's gone is what fails first. No worn rollers, no bent hinges, nothing to grease every spring.

Works by hand

Spring counterbalance means the door still opens manually if the power goes out. No hydraulics.

Locks when closed

Positive mechanical slide lock. Bracket, sprocket, chain, and actuator mount are all pre-engineered.

20,000 cycles in the field

Units running past 20,000 cycles — better than twenty years of daily use — with minimal service. Keep the guides and springs clean and lightly lubricated and that's the maintenance.

Quiet, because there's less to it

No rollers, no hinges, far fewer moving parts than a sectional. A simpler system is a quieter system, and this one surprises people.

Seals built into the hardware

Side seals mount on our hardware and press against the door. Nothing screwed to your jambs, and overlapping parts close off the perimeter.

Lighting

Light where the door used to block it.

When a normal door opens, it parks under your ceiling lights and shadows half the garage. This one doesn't block anything, and the LED bars add light where you need it.

01

Plugs into the opener

Runs off the LiftMaster 98022 on standard 110V. Comes on with the door, shuts off on its own.

02

Mounts either direction

Vertical or horizontal, positioned to throw light where you actually need it.

03

RGBW with a real white channel

Task-level output, not accent lighting. Tunable from your phone, no app to install.

"Most people come into their house through the garage. That door should be as good as the front one."

Hardware kit, shipped to your installer

We build the kit to your confirmed dimensions and ship it freight, and a local company installs it. It goes in much like a sectional, minus all the overhead work — precision hardware with real adjustment in the field, built to be easy on the installer. We support you both the whole way through.

FAQ

Questions we get daily.

The ones that come up before every order. Full detail on specs and installation at the links below.

How is this different from a standard door? +

A normal sectional door runs on overhead track with a motor hanging from the ceiling. This system has neither. The door pivots as one piece, all the hardware mounts to the wall, and the ceiling stays clear. Fewer moving parts, less noise, nothing wearing out above your head.

Will my existing panels work? +

Most modern triple-layer sectional panels between 2.0″ and 2.5″ thick will work, as long as the interior face is flat. Send us your dimensions and we'll confirm before you pay anything.

Can I install it myself? +

No. This is a professional installation product and needs a licensed garage door pro with specialty experience. The kit ships to your installer, not to homeowners.

How do I find an installer outside Utah? +

Start with our dealer map. If nobody is listed near you, call a custom garage door company in your area that does architectural or specialty work. Reach out and we can help point you the right direction.

How much room does it need in front of the door? +

Two to three feet of clear space in front of the opening. If your driveway sits tight against the door, this isn't the right system.

How does it seal when it's closed? +

The door leaf is narrower than the opening, so we designed the seal in from the start. Overlapping parts close off the perimeter, and the side seals are mounted on our hardware rather than screwed to your jambs, pressing against the edges of the door. It was developed in the southwest, where keeping heat out matters.

How long does it last, and what maintenance does it need? +

We have units in the field past 20,000 cycles, which is more than twenty years of normal daily use, with minimal servicing. Keep the guides and springs clean and lightly lubricated and that's about it.

How much headroom do I need? +

12″ above the opening for the springs and the top of the door's arc. Floor to ceiling minimum is 95″ across all door heights from 7 to 10 feet. Full dimensions are in the install instructions.

What's the lead time? +

Fabrication runs 4–5 weeks from a confirmed order, and freight adds 3–7 business days. Plan on 5–7 weeks from order to installed door. You'll get an accurate date when the order is confirmed.
