Great post!

I am constanty trying to find terms for the thing that supports the opener which is missing a bolt. Or the thing in the middle of, and connected to, the garage door that is missing a bolt etc.


Adding that link to my Favorites!


On second tought, after reading some of it, I think it would take forever to find what you are trying to describe. Perhaps referring to components as "hardware" and including a photo is a good way after all.

What... what... I'm hard of hearing.
