How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the structure can safely support the opener and door loads.
Steps to try:
- Check mounting: Verify that the opener is attached to solid joists or a suitable mounting frame using appropriate fasteners.
- Add isolation: Install rubber vibration isolators or mounting pads between the opener and structure if recommended by Novoferm.
- Level the rail: Adjust the rail so it is level and aligned with the door centerline.
