ID this garage door?

Ok, I can't get a pic right now, cam is dead meat. This single skin door (other than sounding like a plane crash when it opens or closes) has the oddest hinges I've ever seen. I'll get a pic tomorrow when I buy some batteries.

I won't really try to describe the hinges too much, but they are unlike any standard hinges I've seen on brands like Clopay or Wayne-Dalton. The upper part seems to hook through the lower part and under the bottom of the panel it's attached to.

There are no labels of any sort between panels, top, bottom, or sides. The upper roller and bottom rollers look pretty normal, but the intermediate hinge/roller assemblys also are different from what I know. The only clue I have is the warning label attached to the torsion springs that has a small AGD at the bottom. Amarr Garage Doors? Maybe? They don't let consumers look at install manuals apparently so I can't even see the parts list.

Also, I'm going to be insulating this soon as it was ice cold when our weather was cold and like a hot plate in direct sun even on 72 degree days. Would you use just regular polystyrene or the isocyanurate panels?

I can use thinner ISO, or thicker poly for the same R, but I'm thinking the poly might be a bit lighter?

Thanks

Vic, I had one years ago where the panels had rolled edges and interlocked with each other instead of having hinges. It did not last very long.

Ok here's the pics. One is of a center hinge and the other is a roller hinge. These and the safety tag I mentioned earlier are the only clues. Everything else looks pretty generic and could be a Clopay, but I know it isn't.

Just tore off a very old fiberglass door that was an older version of Stanley/Amarr... depending on what part you need I might have it in a garbage can, Vic. But yours looks 40 years newer, so... forget I said anything. lol

Oh, I don't need anything right now. Haven't really gotten that far. It's just that this thing sounds like a train wreck every time it goes up or down. It moves smoothly and is in good shape, but not insulated, so it may just be that way. If I do find something wrong, just wanted to be sure what brand to look for. It's probably circa 94-96 from what I can find about the house age.

Amarr Garage Door

That's an Amarr door. As stated before. Private labeled as a Stanley door and also as a reliabilt door at Lowes.

Another thread I never updated. Yeah, it is an Amarr. Found a label on the very top. And noise was mostly an ungreased opener. Still noisy, but much better now.
