How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: A misaligned door can fall or jam. If there is severe distortion, call a door specialist.

Steps:

  • Disconnect opener: Use the manual release to separate the CAME operator from the door.
  • Move door by hand: Raise and lower the door manually to locate binding points.
  • Inspect tracks: Look for bends, dents, or misaligned brackets. Gently straighten minor bends and tighten loose fasteners.
  • Check rollers: Spin each roller by hand; replace any that are seized or heavily worn.

Do not rely on the opener to force a misaligned door; correct the door hardware first.
