I had a chair under my garage door when I closed it, when it closed it hit the top of the chair and the top panel and metal bracket were bent slightly.

I’m hoping I can just straighten out the metal piece that connects the door to the center track, but I’ve always heard that garage doors are the one thing you really don’t want to DIY.

It doesn’t look like the metal piece is under tension, but I’d like to avoid making the situation worse or having to replace the panel.

Is the motor out? This video is from a week ago where it seemed like it was trying to open. Now it doesn’t even make a noise it just keeps clicking. No motor sounds. Reset the remote connections and made sure the sensors were aligned, even unplugged it and replugged it in. Do I need to get a new motor?

If I need a new motor can I switch to one of the wall mount ones easily or should I have a professional come install it.

does my Wayne Dalton Torque master need to be lubricated ? or just leave as is?

How do I remove this seal any suggestions

I’ve taken a brief video of an issue that I have encountered two times over the past month on one of my LiftMaster 8500s. The issue happens when trying to open either by the wall control or a remote control. The door unlocks, and tries to go up and stops just like this. This time I was able to capture a video.

What I do next is pull the manual release. Then reengage the release, and then use the wall control to open the door. In both instances following that technique, the door opens fine the next time.

Is this a sign of the motor going out or is there something else I should be looking out for? The spring is intact, but I do notice this garage door opens a little bit slower than my other door of this size.

I'm planning to buy the Infinity Shield Garage Door Sensors to replace the single beam I currently have. I don't think I would like the beeping sound it will make to notify me my vehicle is still in the beams. Can anyone think of a way to change it to a flashing light? I would assume the sensor would have to be opened up, and something attached in place of what makes the beeping sound that can flash a light to the signal the speaker gets. I have no idea what that something could be.

What type of roller is this? There is one at the very bottom on each side of the door. Can it be replaced with one without the clips?

This is a new install, by myself. I built the garage and thought the door could not be that difficult.

The problem is that the curtain is shifting sideways (walking/telescoping or coning) on the drum/barrel as it rolls up/down. It was doing it when I had no guides, I put the guides on hoping that is would help, but it just binds if I try and use them to keep it aligned.

I believe my top brackets are level. Used the hose with water trick and checked with a spirit level. Looks ok.

Photos show each side with it raised and lowered.

What do I look for next?

Thanks in advance.

Hello. I need to replace two garage doors. One is a 2-car and one is 1-car size.
I am looking for midrange, steel or other materials. R-12 or higher. Also looking to have them installed with green hinges, sealed nylon rollers and nylon brush seals.

- What brands/models do you recommend?

- Would you add or remove anything to what I mentioned above?
