Possible Causes

Worn or ovalized roller stems, Loose hinge bolts, Misaligned tracks, Uneven spring tension

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect the opener and work with the door in the down position when possible.

Inspect rollers and hinges:

  • Check each roller for wobble, flat spots, or cracked wheels. Replace worn rollers.
  • Tighten all hinge bolts securing panels together.

Check track alignment:

  • Ensure tracks are plumb and parallel. Adjust brackets as needed.

Once the door runs smoothly by hand, reconnect the Decko opener and test. Do not use the opener to compensate for a mechanically unstable door.
