Garage door top fixtures (top brackets) hold the top roller at the upper corners of the door, keeping the top section in the track and letting you adjust how the door seals at the top. We stock adjustable top brackets, double-slotted, junior and low-headroom fixtures for residential and commercial doors.
Match your door and headroom. Standard installs use adjustable top brackets; tight ceilings use low-headroom fixtures. Top fixtures are handed (left/right) and sold to fit standard track. Match your existing fixture. Questions? call 877-379-4947.

FAQ
What does a garage door top fixture do?
The top fixture, or top bracket, holds the top roller at each upper corner of the door, keeping the top section seated in the track. Its slots let you adjust the roller position so the top of the door seals properly against the header.
How do I choose the right top fixture?
Match it to your door type and headroom - standard adjustable brackets for typical installs, low-headroom fixtures for tight ceilings. They are handed (left and right) and fit standard track; match your existing fixture or call us to confirm.
My door doesn't seal at the top - is it the top fixture?
Often, yes. The adjustable slots in the top fixture set how far the top roller sits, which controls how the top section meets the header. Adjusting or replacing a worn or bent top fixture can restore a good seal.
Can I replace a top fixture myself?
Yes - top fixtures are a manageable DIY repair since they are not under spring tension. Work with the door closed, replace one side at a time, and adjust the roller position so the top section seals evenly before tightening.
