Here is the latest of the hardware improvements & video of a job with that application.
Check out a run-through of one of our latest installations.
It’s SPRING in Canada and over the winter we have been hard at work coming up with numerous new and different parts and garage door accessories for Home Owners and Professional Garage Door Installers, dealing with any number of various job situations, from front mount torsion which requires 12″ above the height of the door,
here’s a sample video of what that looks like in action :
Then we have what we call header mount – The Garage Door operates under the door jamb, but the spring assembly is mounted to the header.
Below is a photo of a kit I’m currently shipping out to a US Installer.
Below is a video of my prototype door, with the first of the new Garage Door Hardware in action.
This is a project we are just finishing.
What is very unique about this one – we took the job, not knowing if I could pull it off – as you can see it does work and works very well,
The Garage Door is 15 x 7, there is 3″ between top of the door and underside of the header, I have only 5″ of interior headroom.
It is a single track, with a rear mounted spring set up, draw bar operator, the door thickness will be 4 1/4″ thick once clad.
At Super Sneaky we have made a signifiant improvement with a one piece steel rail design, which has a integrated 6″ steel pully we machine ourselves and will carry an estimated 2000 lbs each.
There are many different ways going about these jobs … usually they get clad on site, which poses additional problems of unknown weight factor. I do have a spring solution for this, also know working on a simple counter weight system that works with the springs so it will be easier to fine tune on site, the idea – eliminate an extra trip.
You R.O. for all the different setups is now 6″ wider than the finished door. 12″ for front mount torsion, minimum of 3″ between top of the door to underside of the header.
Depending on interior headroom, you would do the header or rear mount springs.
We have started retailing our kits for $2800 … WE also do the consultation.
The other part which is happening now and also easier is putting out a finished custom door, which simplifies the springing. If you take a closer look at the video I sent, which is a 16 x 8 Garage Door, I purposely used a Genie Rela G 850 operator which is a low end light duty unit more for lite little single doors, it has been going since 2012.
… just wanted to prove that if the door is balanced well, it doesn’t take a whole lot to move it. I even have certain spring wire I use, also have a spring wind technique, which seems to be working nicely.
This has been a challenging exercise of constant trial and error, it is complicated and there is a learning curve … We are one one of the FEW companies who design and manufacture these types of components.
Improvements are made on a continuous basis and our resource of information is continually expanding from the feedback we get from our dealer network in Canada and the US.
We are now working on a simple residential version of the tandem operator set up.
Stay Tuned as we refine and improve our current line of Garage Door products and services.
At Super Sneaky we are constantly innovating and developing new products for Garage Door Operating Systems.
Here is one of our latest. The Super Sneaky OPERATOR EXTENSION BRACKET – OEB.
Now Available on our website for purchase. A professional, easily installed operator rail mount point for heavy duty commercial garage door applications, where installation speed, and safety, at the right price means profitability. This simple device bolts between 2 commercial spring mounts and provides a mounting platform, so the operator can be connected to it, while the operator head rests on the ground. The installer can then easily and safely raise the operator into place.
The first of its kind! Indispensable for commercial over-head door installations. Automatically positions operator safely.
• Operator Extension Bracket (Commercial) – OEB(C)
• A professional, easily installed operator rail mount point for heavy duty commercial applications, where installation speed, and safety, at the right price means profitability.
Special Feature – Increased Door Security
The Operator Extension Bracket was designed for a standard spring mount to fit inside, providing an extremely solid platform for bolting a drawbar type of operator when there is limited space above a spring. It also extends the rail travel length of an operator, serving as a lockdown for the door. May be used in combination with other Super Sneaky parts, or as a stand-alone, when there isn’t enough room to install an operator.
The Super Sneaky OPERATOR EXTENSION BRACKET – OEB can be purchased Here.
Please take a look at our installation video we put together.
New modern architecturally styled home with 20 x 7 flush mount garage door.
Stunning design on an amazing custom home.
Supersneaky is proud to be a part of this great project. As the foremost authority on Flush Mount Garage Doors and Low overhead garage door installation, we worked closely with – Office Ou, Evolve Builders Group, Blackwell Structural Engineers – to produce this stunning example of a Flush Mounted Garage Door.
From the Urban Design & Architecture Awards website :
Project description
Physicians interested in healthy living and sustainability commissioned this new net-zero electricity house which combines natural materials, traditional construction methods, and barrier-free design while facilitating aging in place. The landscape strategy includes the integration of resilient native species, porous surfaces and a pollinator rooftop garden seeking to support local wildlife.
Natural, renewable and locally-sourced materials were used in the construction, including straw-bale walls. Little to no mechanical heating or cooling was required due to proper cross-ventilation and highefficiency fireplaces. The house is net-zero thanks to photovoltaic panels on the roof.

Flushmount garage doors, are garage doors whereby the outside face if flush with the exterior wall of a building. They can be clad with the buildings exterior materials so they appear to be part of the buildings wall system, or make a statement with your personal moving work of art. What makes our system unique is that our doors close against an overlapping door jamb, so there is a full perimeter weather seal.
The system was also borne from our core business of low headroom garage door hardware.
So the basic operating system itself has been around since 1998. It has been industry and time tested, we not only comply with UL 325 safety codes we take it to new levels, due to the way the Super Sneaky’s re-direct some of a drawbar operators energy force harmlessly to the top panel instead of all the energy force going to the bottom pinch point.
WE have Extensive dealer network located throughout north America. Please contact us today for Information about a Supersneaky hardware installer in your area.
