1.  What's the difference between Residential and Commercial Door Hinges?
The difference between the residential and commercial hinge is the spring tension has been optimized for the best door performance, based on the typical doors used in residential and commercial applications. If a residential door is 12 feet wide or more commercial hinges should be used. Residential hinges have silver springs, commercial hinges have gold springs.

2.  How long will the spring last?
Our system is built to last; with a spring that exceeds 10,000,000 life cycles. Comes with a Lifetime warranty, call for details.

3.  Will the Green Hinge work with my existing shaft and wheels from my current hinges?

4.  Why does your system out perform other sealing systems?
Each panel can automatically adjust to overcome poor track positioning and warped walls.  Most Important the doors themselves only have one true sealing surface and that is the outer panel edge where it contacts the wall.  Most door panels are corrugated where the seal contacts, still leaving air gaps with traditional seals.
