TESTING THE DOOR
4
Disable all locks and remove any ropes connected to
the garage door.
Complete the following test to ensure your door is well
balanced, and not sticking or binding:
• Lift the door to about halfway and then release it. The door
should remain spring balanced.
• Raise and lower the door to discover if there are any
sticking or binding points.
• If your door does not hold in place or the door binds or
sticks, call a qualified door technician before automating
the door.
• Place the weight in the centre of the door (as shown).
• Use a pencil to mark the two hole positions.
• Drill two 5.5mm holes through the two marked
positions, then place the weight bar on the inside of
the door.
• Use the 5mm bolts, washers and nuts (provided) to
fasten the weight bar in place.
