Important tip: Always replace door springs as a set! This may not be obvious to a novice, but it makes sense. If one spring has broken, can the other spring's demise be far behind? Add that little bit of common sense to the fact that the strength of a spring decreases with use. The use of a new spring with an old spring can cause an imbalance in the door operation. If you have 2 separate doors with one door spring broken, it is highly recommended to also replace the other door spring if it is of the same age as the other broken spring. The breaking of a spring can cause some serious injury when it breaks depending on the door position, and cause damage to your opener.

You are not alone. Many homes have limited access to their garage. When the electricity goes out, the opener decides to fail, or you leave the remote accidentally inside, the garage is as secure as a bank vault. There is a garage door accessory called an emergency release kit. The lock mechanism is installed into a hole on the garage door. When the key is turned the body of lock can be pulled through the hole pulling a cable that is attached to your opener release inside the garage, allowing you to lift your door manually. In case you are locked out and have no emergency key release installed on your door, we can drill a hole in the door and try to "fish" the release on your opener. We then can replace the hole with an emergency key release.

This normally is due to the fact that your door is shaking causing it to burn out.

This may be due to an excessive pull on the opener, or broken chain sproket. Check to make sure the chain sproket above the garage door opener is not broken or bent. Test your door manually for any extra weight or drag. Tighten chain. Most opener chain tensioner is located on the chain itself in the form of a locking nut above the garage door opener by tightening the tension screw.

To release: Most brands require you to pull down the rob and at the same time back or forward depending on the opener model to stay disengaged.

To reatach: Depends on your opener brand pull on the rob once, pull the metal leveler up or direct the pin at the end of trolly to go in to position then run the opener till it engages automatically.

Your safety beam sensor must be working in order for your garage door opener to operate. If the indicator light on your sensors is off, one or a combination of things can be happening.

1. Make sure there is nothing obstructing the path between the two sensors.

2. Check to see if the sensor didn't get knocked out of alignment, if so then move it around to face the other sensor.

3. Check for any broken or cut wires from the sensor to the garage door opener.

   *Remember you should always see a solid light, the smallest flicker can be enough to reverse your garage door.

The torsion spring is under high tension and require special tool for adjustment. Because of the high tension, the torsion spring, and any part associated with the counterbalance system, should be adjusted only by a professional. These parts include: the spring, the cable, the corner brackets attached to the cables, the cable drums, and the center bearing brackets that hold the tension spring shaft.

Step #1
Measure door opening width and height in feet and inches. This determines the size of door needed. The rough opening should be the same size as the door.

Step #2
Measure for sideroom: 3-3/4" is required on each side for installation of the vertical track for standard extension spring, standard torsion spring and EZ-Set Torsion Spring SystemT, 5-1/2" for EZ-Set Extension Spring SystemT.

Step #3
Measure area labeled "headroom" - distance between the top of the door opening ("jamb header") and the ceiling (or floor joist). 10" is required for the standard extension spring or EZ-Set Extension Spring System. 12" is required for standard torsion spring and EZ-Set Torsion Spring SystemT. If you have restricted headroom, special hardware is available. Additional headroom is required for installation of an automatic garage door opener.
NOTE: If door height extends above the opening, the headroom measurement should be adjusted proportionately.

Step #4
Measure area labeled "backroom" - distance is measured from the garage door opening toward the back wall of the garage. Door height plus 18" is required. Additional back room may be required for installation of an automatic garage door opener.
