Answer:

Your garage door opener will still work. i’ve done many service calls on these openers and found the battery system had failed but the homeowner didn’t even know it because the opener was still running.

How to stop the snow getting into the garage door edges?

My garage door is so tight with the framework. There is probably 1/2 inch between the frame and the door. The door it has been 18 years old, is a vinyl, insulated type with the traditional 6 squares on each section that bends.Is there a particular weatherstripping that could fill this gap and still allow the door to go up and down without catching on it. I would assume it would need to be placed on the inside frame of the door rather than the outside for appearance sake.

Any one can assit me? The snow came in one side for several weeks and we have a tiny snowdrift inside our garage.

Answer:

Go to your local garage door dealer and get what we call residential weatherstrip, it is a vinyl blocking about 2 inches wide, and 1/2 inches thick with a rubber flap on one end 1 inch long,, you nail it up flush with the edge of your door frame with the flapup against your door, that will seal it up for you. You can also get it in colors to match your door also to make it blend in better also..

How to repair my broken garage door?

The sliding hinge (it looks like a curved L - like a lever arm) that attaches from the motor to the door broke off its attachment to the garage door. It literally ripped off its attachment to the door.

What’s going to happen? Do I need to replace the entire door, or can I somehow replace the piece to which the hinge was attached?

Please give advice, hopefully if you’re a garage door repairman

Answer:

Your best bet would be to replace your bracket with a piece of pre punched angle iron, this spreads the pull out a little more and should hold as long as your door is not damaged.

Need help on my garage door!It is stoppend in cold weather.

My garage door only open one foot then stop.

The door is about 1.5 year history.when it gets very cold out , the remote will only open the door about 1 foot then stop. presing the remote button again will make the door go down. if i help the door past the 1 foot opening , it will go all the way up but i don’t feel any obstruction. it did this last winter when it was below 0 degrees.

Answer:

I think the main reasion is the weather, the garage door dont work since the cold weather.

I have found the door manual online and found that there were force adjustments on the unit that basically determine how much force to apply in either direction before aborting and going back to the previous position (whether it be up or down). A quick adjustment of the down force from a 3 (out of to a 6 and my problem is completely resolved.

Which is better garage door?

I have an old garage door, and it is now trashed. So I want to buy a new one!

I need some following function: My garage door opener will work on either panneled garage doors, or the single piece ones. I also want to install one of those automatic garage door lock devices, because I think garage doors are a major security risk.

So any one please assit me to buy a better garage door.

Answer:

Go with the track style. They are more secure, easy to lock, and much easier to install. Also, and I believe most important, they will actually give you a lot more clearance through the door area.

Maybe only some people need the clearnace function,but how ever it would a idea for you.

I get noisy on closing my garage door!

Recently my garage door opener was out sync of closing the garage door leaving about 2inches sapce above the ground.I pulled on the release cord and went ahead lowering the garage door to the ground. I reattached the opener mechanism and it now opens and shuts to the proper level.

But now the problem is the garage door geting a large noisy when closing. 

I want it to be as slient as it used to be. What should I do?

Answer:

use white litium grease and grease all moving points

In order to make sure all nuts and bolts are tight or not, you have to go over them. if this doesnt work, you should check for any touching joints( where the panels meet), to make sure that they are not binding each other.
