Re: garage door opener crapped out

A tip for your garage door. I used to instal these years ago when I was a kid and the number one reason for the opener to crap out was water. The bottom door panel will absorb all the ground water if it's not sealed properly, and over time adds a considerable amount of weight to the door. If the springs are not readjusted then the opener has to work harder. Best way to check the torsion spring adjustment is to open the door to waist high, it should balance there.

merry christmas all.
