Re: Any garage door experts out there?

After thinking about it for a bit. There may be a couple of options here.

To set how high up the door will roll will depend on how far back the roller is from the door. Also it may depend on how 'flush' the door is with the front and how far up you want the door to go. I wouldnt let the door go any further than the pulley if you have one of the ones with the spring across the top. If you have the other style you should be ok with it being wherever. As when the door is up the door should be about level with those pulleys. Just depends on how far up you want the door to go.

Mine has a problem where the spring across the top slowly comes undone because the pulley wheel is too far forward. As there is a small space of time where there is no tension on it so it slowly comes undone. Now I have to get the thing re-tensioned (not a job for the faint of heart). I need to also put some stops in the glides to stop this from happening. Glad I just thought of it and the builder should have done it Bet its in the instructions too *sigh*.
