Systems and methods for reducing gap space between sections to enhance safety and to enable one section of the door to support the weight of another. An overhead door having a variety of sections comprises a first section that includes a contour and a corresponding second section that includes a surface, wherein the surface corresponds to the contour so that as the sectional door follows a track system the surface follows the contour to maintain a joint gap within a particular range between the surface and the contour to prevent or reduce the risk of injury due to the joint gap. A pivot point of a hinge used to secure the first section to the second section is located between the first and second panels. The opposing surfaces of the first and second sections touch the hinge, without causing the hinge to bind when in use.
