I found the manual online for my door(Overhead 450A). According to the manual the drawbar that attaches to the yokes should not be in the vertical position.
Perhaps this era of garage door openers didn't take security into account?
Looks like I'm back to square one.
GreyOwl and HRG, the J bar is about 10 degrees from vertical. How can I adjust this so it is 0 degrees?
Thanks for all the replies everyone, I really appreciate the help!
Thanks for the replies everyone! Sorry, I should have provided more details. "Overhead door" is a garage door/garage opener manufacturer. It is a chain drive system.
I will attempt the suggestions tomorrow and report back.
Thanks again.
Hello folks, I have a Overhead garage door opener. When the garage door is closed I can open it by getting my hand underneath the door and pulling the garage door up from the outside! Is this normal? If not, how can I adjust the door so it's not so easy to open by the use of force?
Thank you
