Possible Causes
Misaligned vertical or horizontal tracks, Loose track fasteners, Worn rollers, Door out of balance
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and use proper supports when loosening track bolts. Do not adjust torsion springs yourself.
Steps:
- Check track alignment: The tracks should be plumb and parallel. Loosen mounting bolts slightly, tap tracks into alignment, and retighten.
- Inspect rollers: Replace worn or oval rollers with a Henderson roller kit.
- Door balance test: Disconnect the opener and move the door by hand. If it will not stay at mid‑travel, have a professional adjust the springs.
- Secure opener: Tighten all opener mounting brackets and ceiling supports to reduce vibration transfer.
