Frequently Asked
Questions.

A standard sectional door moves on an overhead track with a ceiling-mounted motor — the entire mechanism lives above you and takes up significant space. The Trackless Pivot System eliminates both the track and the ceiling motor entirely.

The door locks into a single rigid piece and rotates open from wall-mounted hardware. The result is a completely clear ceiling, fewer moving parts, and nothing wearing out above your head.

Because the door pivots from the sides, it swings partially outward as it opens. As a general rule, about half the door height swings outward and half swings inward.

Example: an 8 ft tall door swings about 4 ft outward and 4 ft inward during opening. The door sits in the opening and takes up roughly 6 inches of space inside the opening when open.

The hardware system adds approximately 70 lbs to an 8 ft door. This is accounted for in the 500 lb maximum door weight capacity. Your installer will factor this into the torsion spring calculation when sourcing springs for your project.

The system uses a combination of side brush seals and a bottom weather seal to close the gaps between the door and the opening. These seals reduce wind, dust, light infiltration, and weather exposure.

Yes. Standard vinyl bottom weather seal is compatible. The system also uses side brush seals to close the gap on either side of the door.

Yes. A common approach is to use a triple-layer insulated flush steel door as the structural base and apply vertical wood cladding on top after installation. The cladding installs over the door surface and doesn't interfere with the hardware mounting.

The door is installed first, then the cladding is applied — boards run full length without being cut for each panel section, since the door operates as one piece.

The Trackless Pivot Hardware System itself is not currently tested or certified for hurricane or high-wind building code requirements such as Miami-Dade approvals.

Wind performance largely depends on the garage door panels used, which must meet local building code requirements. If your project requires hurricane-rated or high-wind doors, work with a local garage door supplier to source panels that meet your region's codes.

The system works with most triple-layer insulated sectional garage door panels between 2.0″ and 2.5″ thick with a flat interior face. Panels with external ribbing on the interior face are not compatible — for example, the WD 9100 and 9605 series will not work with this system.

Compatible panel types include:

• Flush steel doors
• Composite overlay doors
• Aluminum glass doors
• Most woodgrain plank styles

If you're unsure whether your panels qualify, contact us with the door manufacturer and model number before ordering.

The current Trackless Pivot System supports:

• 8–18 ft wide
• 7–10 ft tall
• 500 lbs total door weight
• Requires 6″ of opening clearance when fully open — an 8 ft door has 7 ft 6 in of clearance while open

Larger systems may be possible in the future as we continue to develop the platform.

The system requires 12 inches of headroom above the opening to accommodate the torsion spring assembly and allow the top of the door to arc up and in as it opens.

Floor-to-ceiling height needs to be at least 95 inches for a 7 ft door. This requirement is consistent across all supported door heights (7–10 ft).

The finished opening width needs to be 2 inches wider than the door panels. For example, a 16 ft wide door requires an opening size of 16 ft 2 in. Height stays standard — the door sits in the opening at the same height as a traditional door when closed.

Yes and no. While your current panels may be the right thickness and style to work with our hardware, most existing panels are sized to match your opening width — which means they're likely wider than the 2 inch clearance this system requires. Using them would require cutting the panels down, which most customers prefer to avoid. The more common approach is to have new panels made to the correct size.

Our kit is designed to work with the LiftMaster 98022 jackshaft operator. The kit includes dedicated mounting hardware, drive sprocket, chain, and slide lock components sized for the 98022.

We have not tested the 98032 motor with our system, and that motor would require different mounting hardware not included in the kit. If you're planning to use a different opener, contact us before ordering.

Most new construction garages can accommodate the Trackless Pivot System with standard garage door framing. We recommend:

• Solid side framing
• Proper header sizing for the opening
• Square door openings
• 12″ of headroom above the opening

The hardware kit is $3,900, built to your door specifications. LTL freight shipping is $300 nationwide, delivered to your installer's location. Total delivered cost is $4,200.

This covers the hardware only. Door panels, springs, torsion shaft and coupler, and the LiftMaster 98022 motor are sourced locally by your installer. We include a complete sourcing guide with every kit.

Our Trackless Pivot Hardware Kit includes the components required to convert sectional garage door panels into a one-piece pivot door system:

• Pivot plates and door hardware
• Linkages and tie rods
• Guide assemblies
• Support brackets
• LED lighting system
• Motor mounts and sprockets for gear reduction
• LiftMaster slide lock bracket, drive sprocket, chain, and photo eye mounts
• Wiring harness and controller
• All fasteners, mounting hardware, and installation instructions

For full details see the product page. Every kit is built to order against your confirmed door dimensions and configuration.

Every system is built to order based on your confirmed door dimensions, panel weight, and opening configuration. There is no off-the-shelf version. We confirm all specifications with you before fabrication begins.

Fabrication runs approximately 3–4 weeks from confirmed order. Freight shipping adds 3–7 business days depending on your location. From order to delivered kit, plan for roughly 5–6 weeks, though many projects run faster. We'll provide a specific timeline when your order is confirmed.

Moenave Garage Doors is based in Southern Utah, where we provide full sales, installation, and service. For customers outside Utah, we ship our Trackless Pivot Hardware Systems nationwide so they can be installed by a qualified garage door professional.

We currently do not install doors outside of Southern Utah. Use the dealer map to find a company near you: moenave.com/dealers

This is a custom install best suited for garage door companies that already do specialty and custom work — not a standard door swap. The right installer will be comfortable working through detailed documentation and has experience with non-standard garage door configurations.

Every kit ships with a full installation manual. Our team is happy to answer questions over the phone

We recommend professional installation by a licensed garage door company experienced in custom work. The system involves torsion springs under significant tension, which require professional handling. An experienced installer familiar with the documentation can typically complete the install in a single day.

For projects outside Utah, your installer will need to source:

• Garage door panels — triple-layer insulated, 2.0″–2.5″ thick, flat interior face
• Door struts — to reinforce panels for one-piece operation
• High-cycle torsion springs, shaft, and coupler
• LiftMaster 98022 jackshaft motor

These are standard components that most garage door companies stock or can readily order. We include a complete sourcing guide with every kit. Find a dealer near you.

For projects outside Utah we ship hardware kits only. Customers source garage door panels locally through a garage door dealer or supplier. Our hardware system converts those panels into a one-piece pivot door.

This allows panels to meet your local building codes and greatly reduces shipping costs. Your installer can source panels at better pricing locally and has a local contact if a panel ever needs to be replaced down the road.

Use the dealer map at moenave.com/dealers to find companies near you that are familiar with this system. If there isn't a dealer listed in your specific area, contact us — we can often refer you to a company that has expressed interest in the system or has already installed one nearby.

Yes, we ship to Canada. Shipping cost is quoted separately — contact us for a freight estimate to your location before ordering.

Yes. The system works well in barn and barndominium applications as long as the opening meets the standard requirements — 12 inches of headroom above the opening, flat interior framing, and compatible door panels. Many barn builds use flush steel or glass panels that work well with this system.

The Trackless system supports doors up to 10 ft tall. For taller openings — an RV bay, for example — a traditional tracked system can run alongside it on the same property. Because both use the same door panel manufacturers and finish options, the exterior appearance stays consistent. From the street, the doors match. The difference is only visible from the inside.
