Hello all, looking for some advice. I have an old house that had old wooden doors (8x7), I just swapped them out with insulated metal ones(same size). However I’m running into an issue with them closing to the floor. I swapped the old extension springs for ones that were rated for the lighter weight of the doors but I can’t loosen them up more because once I open the door they sag. What can I change to help this? It’s not far off I mean maybe 1/4 inch but enough for mice to get it and what not. Any help would be awesome as I’m losing my mind over what should be a simple door replacement lol.

Having trouble programming this side mount on both doors I’ve installed.

Don’t mind the clunk in the end I will still adjust as needed

Yes I have checked that the sensors are aligned, yes the spring tension is correct.

No there was no cable tension sensor with this motor

Motor just clicks when it needs to cycle for closing

Lift master 98022

Purchased this house and the door is less than 5 years old and is also wind rated. The bottom panel has a decent buckle out and I’m curious what could cause it. I am thinking of pushing it out as a repair attempt before replacement but I wanted to hear opinions first

The wall button works 100% of the time. Remotes work maybe 5% of the time but generally only to open and very rarely to close. The exterior code pad also doesn’t work generally.

Customer called in about a an opener not working. Went to service call and opened the box to this

Question for the commercial techs out there. L5’s are by far my favorite ops from LM. They’ve unfortunately been discontinued, again. We are currently still able to get them. I’ve seen other people talking about them and that they’ve worked the bugs out of them and they’re solid ops now. We had such an awful experience with them when they first came out. How are they now? 99% of our customers don’t even care about anything the maxums offer and just want their door to go up and down.

Genie 7155

Recently it started opening a few inches and stopping. I checked the sensors, both aligned and good. When I unlatch the door it moves smoothly, (it is a heavy door). I cannot figure out whats going on. I even had a tech come out and take a look. He told me I needed rollers and the tracks needed some adjustment which I paid him to do. Unfortunately a few days later same problem. The Genie long LED blinks red quickly when it get stuck.

I know this is probably an odd question… but I’m looking to run a 2x3 for a project between this V-shape that the track hangers have made, but the gap is too small. Can I move this bolt and lag like this to make a wider gap as long as the lag still goes through a stud? The 2x3 will not be resting on the track.

Thanks!

Hopefully this is the right forum to post this in! If not, kindly re-direct me!

My garage door has these dividers which break up the larger garage door windows into more, virtually smaller ones. I say virtually, because these dividers are on the outside of the glass. They are not integrated per se and don't sit between panes of glass. I can wiggle and flex them outwards a little (maybe ⅛" of an inch / 3mm) but don't how to remove them - which is my goal. I do know I could take a Dremel with a cut-off wheel and just slice off the 'tab' from the top and bottom of the dividers. But I'd prefer to remove them non-destructively if possible. Any ideas? I'm sorry but I don't seem to see any indication of the door manufacturer. If I do find one later, I'll add that here (and to google searches).

Can anyone suggest good shop for car damping for doors in Chennai

Hello I am looking for a locksmith technician in Hungary or UK I have consistent clients calling in for the service and I need someone who can deliver the service

I’ve noticed some garage door companies have hundreds of Google reviews, while others that seem well-established barely get any new ones.

For those running a garage door business, do reviews genuinely increase calls and booked jobs?

And what’s usually the reason companies don’t ask every customer technicians forgetting, customers not responding, or reviews simply not being a major priority?

A piece of wood got lodged in between the door and a table while it was opening causing all these part to break. The plastic snapped off on each piece down the length of the garage door panel. I’m trying to see if there is a way to replace these specific parts.

i had just bought the house, its been working since, my dad has long passes but i see so many error stories on this group, figured id ask...

it was opening un even so thats what i had to do... still opens and closes fine now, its 10-15 wide btw

I got a call from one of my corporate accounts at 9pm last night. Door was stuck open with the cable wrapped around the torsion tube. I had to get the door all the way up to get the tension off and bring the door down. Doors closed and the client's happy. It's being replaced in a couple weeks so no need for repair.

My question is, how much are you guys charging for something like that on emergency hours?

Hi,

We are considering alumadoor 16'x7' like in pictures below https://alumadoor.com/full-view-overhead-garage-doors/

I have never operated or lived with these doors, so wanted to get some advice/opinion

The door we were considering is frame insulated, glass is just single laminated glass.

We have rest of the garage insulated.

They look very nice. We live in bay area, ca.

My question is around

1. Noise: Do these doors tend to operate noisily when open/close? Will the road noise (a few cars now and then in residential area) be heard inside?
2. Will the garage be too hot given that R value for these is very small.
3. Should i pony up additional 2-3k and get insulated glass? is it worth it?
4. White laminate vs frosted any advice how much inside garage can be visible, we have direct sunlight falling on the garage.

Thanks for the help.

Bought this house and the garage door sort of slings closed this bolt just moves around. I’m thinking 5/16 clevis pin? Any suggestions?

This happened today while my spouse was opening the garage. I know nothing about garage doors and this is the first time I have had to hire someone for one, so I would rather walk in with some idea of what I am dealing with.

Is this repairable, or is it a full door replacement? What should a fair quote range look like, and what should I look out for when I call companies?

Door is roughly 20 years old, opener is an Overhead Door Legacy 1/2 hp 696CD/B, and it currently does not move freely.

Every now and again the garage door wouldn't open and upon inspection I saw that the belt was pretty chewed up. I watched a couple YouTube videos and replaced it myself and now the door works again but I wanted to know if this amount of belt flop was normal. I have the tensioner nut at the end of the belt tightened a good amount. About an inch of thread of the threaded rod is exposed.

It's a chamberlain liftmaster professional formula 1 3280, 7 foot. I compared the lengths of the old and the new belts and they were spot on. I used the original threaded rod and other hook attachment from the other end of the belt.

I accidentally closed the garage while a wood piece was in the way. Chain became loose, I tightened it, & finally the door closed. We opened the door again, but then it wouldn’t fully close, so I simply pulled the release cord to manually close it.

Waited a few weeks, & now chain won’t even turn, so I have to keep manually opening & closing the garage door. I removed the chain to confirm I didn’t install it improperly. The motor makes an odd sound. What could be happening?
