The weather seal already has holes in the aluminum? If so the putting shims into the gap would likely be fine for the side seals. The top is usually where you would have trouble with bad mounting. There is almost no force on the side unless you put it too tight.

The boots on the coils are brown on the new ones and black on the old style.

You did check to make sure you have the old style plugs first right? My 2008 didn't have those plugs.

I had this on a bunch of motors on commercial door operators. They had a bad batch with switches that wouldn't switch over. About 1-3 seconds and it would trip the breaker.

It is my understanding that normally when they fail they give some sort of warning. Flickering. Buzzing. Delayed start. Low output. Inconsistent lighting levels.

I was told the bulb cover. Do this, take pictures and keep receipts for any expensive items. it was 10" from the ceiling for about 8 years.

I was not aware of this but the fire inspector told me about it. I was having zero problems with my lights and one day my brother went out to the garage, turned on the light for 10 minutes and turned it off and went back into the house. We were in the house for about 15 minutes until my brother...

That's what it should be. The pictures make the shaft/cable look smaller.

The torsion springs actually cost between $20-30 each. If you are buying one at a time. I wish i could sell springs at $85/ea.

yes use a pair of slings to install the curtain. Also a genie lift can be rented for like $50-60. I have used a come-along in the center of the curtain and attached to the barrel but it it not really a good idea.

Oh good old double shaft duplex setups. Always a fun time. Are you using 3/16" cable and a 1" shaft or do the pictures make it look funny?

A proper length of cable should have 3/4" of a wrap on it when installed properly. That last quarter of a wrap on the slightly raised portion of the drum will almost not even affect it. Especially when we are talking about what he is planning to do anyways.

For a standard lift door the cable length does not make a difference. The diameter doesn't change therefore there will be no difference in applied torque. High lift and vertical lift drums are different. The design of those allows the torque to be maintained even though the weight stays the...

I was working on a commercial construction site once when there was a bunch of yelling and screaming. A guy bursts out of the electrical room on fire and mostly burned over his whole body. Apparently he was pulling the main feed and the city switched the power on to the wrong building while he...
