This garage door angle iron is roll-formed, pre-galvanized steel angle punched on both legs with holes 1″ apart for 3/8″ bolts. The close spacing lets you hang a garage door opener, brace track or build hanger brackets at almost any height, then cut the piece to fit. Heavier gauges than typical hardware-store punched angle are available for long spans and commercial doors.

Choosing a gauge
Lower gauge numbers mean thicker steel. 15 and 14 gauge are fine for most residential opener hangers. Step up to 12 or 11 gauge for heavy wood or insulated doors, long drops from high ceilings, or commercial doors where vibration and cycle counts are high.
