Possible Causes

Rigid metal-to-wood contact without vibration isolation, Loose mounting hardware, Unbalanced door causing jerky motion, Rail contacting ceiling or framing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before tightening or modifying mounts. Use proper ladders.

  • Tighten all mounts: Check and tighten opener hanging brackets, header bracket, and rail joints.
  • Add vibration isolators: Install rubber isolation pads or vibration-damping brackets between the opener and ceiling joists.
  • Ensure clearance: Make sure the rail is not touching the ceiling or other framing members.
  • Check door balance: If the door moves in jerks, have a professional adjust springs and hardware.
