How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Door springs and cables are under extreme tension. Do not attempt to adjust torsion springs or drums yourself.
Steps to assess imbalance:

- 2. Visual inspection: Check drums, springs, and cables for obvious damage or miswinding.
- 3. Do not operate repeatedly: Continued use can damage the opener and door.
Contact a qualified Gliderol door technician to adjust springs, drums, and cables safely.
