How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use manual release and support the door while adjusting tracks.

Step-by-step:

  • Manual test: Move the door slowly by hand and feel for increased resistance at the problem point.
  • Check track alignment: Use a level to verify that horizontal tracks are level and at the same height. Adjust brackets as needed.
  • Tighten brackets: Secure any loose track supports, especially around the height where the problem occurs.
  • Inspect panels: Look for bent or damaged door sections that may rub against the frame; repair or replace as needed.
