I springy in Oakland, CA. I’ve patterned Home Depot and Lowe’s, but they don’t hit wooden SINGLE commission doors…

Try the topical garner stores. Some bounteous lots or mismatched lots also ready them.

Garage door opener seizing - causes?

My automatic garage door opener has begun to stop after moving a couple of feet, either up or down; the sensor is not obstructed - I suspect cold weather is freezing the spring axle on the door, but oiling it didn’t help.

It’s a chain drive; I took it apart and found that the sprocket bearing failed and the drive gear worn down (it’s plastic). Fortunately, I found that these parts are easily located on eBay - thanks for the advice!

Answer:

Those are all good answers and I am glad you discovered the bearing problem. One caution, generally garage doors are “assisted” up by spring tension. This is what allows you to open it with little effort in the absence of a opener. It also makes it possible for openers to be designed with little horsepower. There are two types of springs used. Extension springs are mounted along the track parallel to the ceiling on both sides. A torsion spring is mounted along the wall above the door and parallel to the top of it. If you have extension springs, they may have lost their strength causing more tension “lift” on one side than the other this will get the door in a bind and in a chain reaction parts of the opener may fail. If you have a torsion spring, they can get out of adjustment causing the same chain of events. “CAUTION” most torsion springs require a qualified professional for adjustment (They can kill a person and have). Some of the newer ones can be adjusted by anyone using a drill.

Garage Door Opener… Where’s The Remote Code?

I have a very old Genie garage door opener, Model 400. It’s very old… probably at least 20 years or more. The unit works just fine but I have no remote. I bought a universal remote but can’t find the code to program the remote. Where is the code located on the unit itself?

I have looked on the outside of the unit, except for the very top which is blocked by the top of the garage. Anyone know where the code is before I try to take it all apart looking?

I rent my home so theres no sense in buying a new one. I need to find a way to make this one work… hopefully

Thanks for all your help!

By the way, the push button inside the garage opens and closes the door properly. Just need the remote to work!

Answer:

open the back or side compartment
there you will find a group of pins or little levers sometimes they have # s under them or letters such as a then b then a then b and on and on and on they go a =1 b=2 so on and so on …good luck

That is correct normal a green or red little board with dip switches on it.
The remote should contain a board similiar inside it.
Set the codes the same and remote should then work.
It no dip switch, check controll panel for buttons and see if this is way activation works, this is how Genie models operate in the newer models.
You push button on front panel beneath Light cover, when it lights you then hold button on remote unit until the light on control panel blinks and then goes solid.

Are Bilco doors worth it? or too inconvienient?

I’m planning the building of a new home. The way the land lays I have 2 options for basement access. I’m having a full basement. No outside access (local code doesnt require) or using one of the bilco doors with the steel doors ontop of the stairs. I dont plan to finish the basement and the location i’d have to put the doors would be on the side of the house that really wouldnt be used that often. I’m afraid i just would never use the doors and it’d be a waste of money/eyesore. Does anyone have any input on these?

How do they work in a nutshell?
Latched from the inside?
Lock on outside?
how big is the opening in the foundation?
I’ve never really even saw one in person?

Answer:

We bought a house with a Bilco door and we are so glad we did! I didn’t think we’d have much use for it, but is so convenient when you need to get something big in or out of the basement. We used it to bring down a refrigerator, and every season we use it to move patio furntiure and the snow blower into the basement.

Have you ever personally witnessed anything weird?

I’m a truck driver and yesterday I was at one of our customers warehouses. While there, I was standing not to far away from a loading dock door that lifted up all by itself. Now there’s no mechanism or anything attached to the door. It has to be opened manually. And I doubt the wind could’ve opened it up as the door has to be lifted open garage door style and is an extremely heavy steel door. And there was no one else anywhere near it when this happened.

Answer:

A few things. For instance, I had my telescope out one night to observe Jupiter’s moons, when suddenly a flashing white light flew low over where I was sitting. It moved very fast - fast enough to go from horizon to horizon in a matter of seconds, and made absolutely no noise.

How do you like my dream?

A swinging light appears to me in pitch darkness, and I get a strange feeling creeping its way up my back spine as I step underneath it. Suddenly everything leading up to this point vanishes from my mind like it was swepted off in the breeze, a breeze so soft yet strong enough to knock me to my feet, I’m left 3 feet under the light and quiver up alone and cold on the steel floor. A tear rolls down my face and I feel the sudden warmth of it as it hits my hand. My eyes watch its tear make it way down my hand, and I turn my palm face up allowing it to follow when I suddenly notice a dark shadow also playing around on my hand. Bending down I realized a small steel door as big as my hand itself standing up on the floor. I knocked my knuckle on it as my first reaction, but knew no answer would come of it because I could see over it as it stood alone against the darkness. I slid my body over completely leaving its shadow when I hear a light drop to the floor. My curiosity is welcomed by a rush of wind brushing past my cheeks, and leaving me feeling swept off with again. I found myself hugging at the cold floor for dear life. Hands traveling the cold steel floor I reach out into the darkness like in hopes for a light to shine through my fingers tips, but I began to feel deserted, not like in a lone desert, but like alone in never discovered light. Dropping my hand in repent I feel a new kind of cold, one of ruff edges and character. I pull it in the light in a moment of terror and excitement meshed together on a quest for survival, or to gain sanity. I pull it forward just below my nose and all at once I gain a new moment of confusion and hope. I study its brass little body before allowing myself to pick it off the ground, and then I look back and forth from the small steel door to the key shaped figure in my hand before I decided to put them together. Hope lead me to forget I couldn’t fit more then my finger through the door, and that it was of nothing but continuing of lost light. The little brass key fitted perfectly in the middle of the little steel door knob, and with a little gentle turn the little door made unusual click sound. I believed it opened, but still it would not budge of movement. I thought try to re-try my steps over in more hope it was just tricky, but as soon as I turned the key back over the door suddenly grew large and curved up, and before I could make the choice to enter it sucked me through it. I was spinning furiously through what appeared as a never ending tunnel when I suddenly was getting closer to a little steel door again, and just when I thought I was getting spit back out I rolled out into pure sunshine with smiley face clouds and polka dot mountains, and Mario and his gang all stopped in shock to look at me as I rolled over on brown belly creatures with fangs. Plopped on top a mushroom I was surprised to see my hero in front of me, and was blinded by such vibrant colors

Answer:

That is a terrific dream, and cheers for recording it.

I mean this kindly and honestly: You owe it to yourself to express your dream in proper english.

I did not finish reading, though the dream was grand, because your grammer was muddled.

How cheaply could I have a house built using steel construction and SIP panels?

I live in Greenville, TX - about an hour east of Dallas. I’ve seen estimates for a 40 x 80 (3200 sq feet) steel building (like a barn - support steel, roof and walls) for about $20K. I’d like to use SIP panels and enclose half the building for a house at first 40×40 (1600 sq feet). I’d have about 8 windows and 2 exterior doors in this part. Then I’d add on in the other half as money allowed. I’m hoping to find 2 acres of land for around $20K and finish the whole project for around $60 - 80K. This will be a plain house - plain concrete floors, walls just taped and bedded (no paint or trim). I’d need 3200 sq. ft. of foundation poured, electric, plumbing, septic, SIP panels, plus tubs, sinks, toilets, etc. I know this is impossible to nail down - but best guesses will be appreciated. Any advise you have will be welcome. Thanks

Answer:

If you can get building for $20K and land for $20k you could do it. You would have to go very cheap on the doors, windows. cabinets, kitchen appliances. and such. Foundation alone is going to cost $12,000. So basically I believe you could “frame” in the structure you are talking about for $60 to $65K. That leaves you 15K for everything you need inside.

How to replace my cabinet door?

My door of my under sink kitchen cabinet door has come off splitting the wood at the hinge, please?

ive been tokd the whole side of cabinet needs replacing(but icannot afford to do this)

Answer:

Your comments don’t indicate whether the door or the frame is split; however, provided the wood is still in good condition, you should be able to remove the hinge and reglue the split wood together. Once it has dried, screw the hinge back in and it should be go to go, since the cabinet door isn’t a load bearing article. If the frame has split, you can do the sam thing - glue it together. If you can’t use a clamp, secure the wood with masking tape while it dries computer desk manufacturer. This is the simple answer without being able to see the exact damage. Good luck to you.

How to cover the glass to my front entry door?

Where can I find something to cover the glass to a front entry door with out damaging the wood.?

I do not want people to see light in side the house.

Answer:

There is a solution, window frosting that makes the window look frosted rather than just plain glass. This solution works very well when you want to keep the light but distort the view. You could probably pick up a kit at Home Depot or Lowes, or have a handyman do it for your computer desk.

Is it ok square up to the door?

Wood floor racking and positioning question.

I’m laying my first floor next weekend and I plan on putting a peice underneath and horizontal across the entry door. That said, I was planning on racking the rest of the floor so that the pieces that meet the door come in at an exact 90 degree angle. Visually this would make everything look straight across the room when you enter. The problem is we’ve found that our main vertical wall is off by over three inches on the far end. I prefer to have the difference on the wall but what’s the best practice here? Should I miter a single peice for down the wobbly wall (and keep my 90 degree angle at the door) or should I line up the rack with the wall and miter an angle for each peice the touches the door?

Answer:

We think it should be squared to the door because the wall may not be straight and looking into the room from the door will look better. This is only an opinion we are not experts.
