Choosing the right tilt hardware
Power arms are the geared linkages that carry a tilt door through its arc. They are sized by rating — 107J, 150J and 200J on the lighter jamb-mounted range, and T125, 150T, 250T and 300T on the heavier track types — and the rating has to match the door's weight and height.
Kicker bolts hold the arm to the door and take a lot of shock load each cycle. A rattling tilt door usually has a worn kicker bolt or an elongated hole where one has been working loose for some time.
Wind struts brace the panel across its width so it does not flex or drum in wind. Perth's afternoon sea breeze is the reason a large tilt door without adequate bracing eventually bows.
If you are replacing arms, replace them as a matched pair. A door running on one new arm and one worn one twists in the opening and puts the whole frame out.
