Miller Edge sensing edges are custom manufactured, non-returnable, and built to your exact specification. Choosing the right model starts with a measurement, not a part number. This guide walks through it.
Four things to settle before you order
1. Model — determined by what you are mounting to. Tables below.
2. Length — measured on site, ordered in 1/4 inch increments.
3. Monitored or non-monitored — determined by your operator's age.
4. Cord location — which side your operator is mounted on.
Sectional Doors — Match to Door Thickness
| Door Thickness | Edge Model |
|---|---|
| 1″ | ME110 or ME111 |
| 1-1/4″ to 1-3/8″ | ME112 |
| 1-1/2″ to 1-5/8″ | ME113 |
| 1-3/4″ to 2″ | ME123 |
| 2″ and over | ME123, or MU21 / MU22 / MU33 for larger profiles |
Bi-fold and hangar doors: MU33 (3″ × 5″). Custom profiles from 4 to 15 inches are also available — call us.
Specialty doors: ME116 is designed for specific Arm-R-Lite, CHI, Clopay and Haas doors. ME117 is designed for TNR doors. Confirm with your door manufacturer.
Rolling Steel Doors — Match to the Bottom Bar
| Bottom of Door Style | Edge Model |
|---|---|
| Double angle bottom bar | MT21 or MT22 |
| Solid piece | ME113 or ME123 |
| Cornell door with T | MC22 (replaces the discontinued MC271) |
| Cornell door with double angle bottom bar | MT21 or MT22 |
MT21 vs MT22: both fit 2-inch double-angle bottom bars. MT21 has a 1″ body, MT22 a 2″ body for better floor contact. MT33 suits 3-inch bars.
Gates — Standard Protection
For edges mounted on one face of the gate or post.
| Surface Thickness | Edge Model |
|---|---|
| 1″ | MG110 Edge Kit — protects draw-in posts, pockets and pivot points |
| 1-1/4″ to 1-3/8″ | ME120 |
| 1-3/4″ to 2″ | MG123 |
Gates — 3-Sided Protection
Wraps the post to detect contact from three directions. Maximum length 10 feet; do not bend.
| Post Type | Edge Model |
|---|---|
| Approximately 2″ gate post | MGO20 |
| 2″ round gate post | MGR20 |
| 2″ square gate post | MGS20 |
How to Measure
- Sectional door — measure the width of a sectional panel.
- Rolling steel door — measure from the tip of one guide to the tip of the opposite guide, then subtract 2 inches so the active edge does not rub on the guides.
- Gate, mounted horizontally — measure the width of the gate, subtracting for post caps.
- Gate, mounted vertically — measure the full height of the gate post, subtracting for post caps. Not required to exceed 6 feet.
Order in 1/4 inch increments. Manufacturing tolerance is ±1/4 inch.
Monitored or Non-Monitored?
- Doors — choose monitored if your operator was manufactured after August 2010 and monitored photo optics are not installed.
- Gates — choose monitored if your operator was manufactured after January 2016.
- Choose non-monitored if monitored photo optics are already installed, or for older operators.
If you need a monitored edge, the designator — T1 through T6 — is set by your operator brand. See the designator guide for the full reference table.
Gate Operator Modules
Some gate operators need a module between the sensing edge and the controller. Match to your operator brand:
| Module | Method | Operator Brands |
|---|---|---|
| GEM-102 | 2-wire pulsed | IQ Gate (2/4-wire) |
| GEM-103 | 4-wire pulsed | Eagle Access Control, IQ Gate, Nice, PPA America |
| GEM-104 | Normally closed | All-O-Matic, Beninca, Byan Systems, FAAC, HySecurity, Maximum Controls, Ramset, SEA USA, V-Mag |
Operators including AutoGate, B&B ARMR, BFT, DoorKing, GTO/Linear, Power Master, VE Power, Rotary, Torxun, USAutomatic and Viking take a T2 (10K) edge with no module required.
For a wireless installation, no module is needed — use the RBand monitored wireless gate edge system with a T2 edge.
Door Operator Modules
For doors, T2 (10K) edges on most brands require an SM-102 signature module. T3 (diode capacitor) edges on Overhead Door and Genie operators require an SM-101.
Important: Sensing edges are custom made and are not returnable. Confirm the model, length, color, cord location and designator before ordering.
