Zusammenfassung:Abstract A brace mechanism is provided for use with an overhead door that is coupled to tracks, for providing additional strength to the door when in a closed position. The brace mechanism may be used in high wind areas to prevent property damage that can occur from these high winds. The mechanism includes a jamb component configured to be mounted to the track or a wall and a door component configured to be mounted to the door. The components are adapted to be located such that in the event of a normal loading condition of the door the components are spaced apart from each other and in the event of deflection of the door during loading the components contact each other.
