Novel compressible flexible hinge assemblies for connecting abutting panel sections (30 and 50) of upward acting or sectional doors, such as garage doors, are dis- closed. More particularly, abutting panel sections of an upward acting door are hingedly connected together economically and in a weather-tight relationship by a flexible hinge assembly (70) which can be easily installed without the use of tools by snapping it into predesigned elongated slots (61 and 41a) in the abutting panel sec- tions from the rear or interior side of the door. When as- sembled, a compressible flexible hinge assembly (70) of the present invention provides a smooth, flush back sur- face on the rear or interior side of an upward acting door and eliminates the unsightly appearance associated with conventional metal hardware heretofore used to hinge abutting panel sections (30 and 50) of upward acting doors (70).
