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.
