Check the Door
1. Disable locks and remove any ropes
connected to the garage door.
2. Lift the door halfway up. Release the
door. If balanced, it should stay in
place, supported entirely by its springs.
3. Raise and lower the door to check for
binding or sticking. If your door binds,
sticks, or is out of balance, call a trained
door systems technician.
4. Check the seal on the bottom of the
door. Any gap between the floor and
the bottom of the door must not exceed
1/4 inch (6 mm). Otherwise, the safety
reversal system may not work properly.
5. The opener should be installed above
the center of the door. If there is a
torsion spring or center bearing plate
in the way of the header bracket, it may
be installed within 4 feet (1.2 m) to the
left or right of the door center. See
page 7.
