“Y” Pushers

OVERVIEW

The “Y” pushers are located on the center fold of the door. The number of Y pushers is determined by the number of lift cables, one pusher for every cable. They provide the initial outward push from the center hinge for a smooth opening and closing motion.

The shaft of the Y pushers consists of a galvanized steel tube which is attached to the door frame with a roller bearing hinge. This hinge allows the Y pushers to swivel during the opening sequence.

Y pusher ends are made from a high-quality plastic. This is to prevent cable wear, create a smooth surface for the cable to glide on, and allow for simple replacement if needed. We have made them yellow for clearance visibility.
