Hey moneypit k5! The motor end is slightly lower then wall mounted end. They were originally level and it acted the same - maybe worse. Can't really remember anymore lol. Yes spring is good. Door raises easily manually. I think all is caused because of the poor quality of the cheap opener...

Trey T, thanks. kbs2244, the door end of the track is mounted to solid header through drywall.

Anyone have thoughts on my last post? I would love some thoughts and opinions from you guys. Thanks! -ey3ball

So here is an update from the weekend. Updates: 1. I greased the chain, which helped a little with the noise. 2. I move the motor end down 2 inches, which is in total 4 inches lower then when I first started messing with the opener (prior to starting this thread). 3. I changed the up/down...

Thanks Rob. I appreciate everyone's help.

BrianJ, the builder is non responsive. Plus even if they did respond the people that installed this did a poor job and I wouldn't want those same people looking at it.

Hey updown, thanks for the confirmation. I've been planning on moving the motor and front end down this weekend, I was just waiting on answer about if I should be centering it as well. I have two questions for you: 1. I'm pretty sure I have header behind the sheetrock from what I can tell...

DCarr2, Thanks for the word of caution. Im not sure where you got the impression that I was going to do anything to the springs, but to put you at ease I'm not doing anything to the springs. If i thought the springs needed work I would call a professional as I understand the dangers involved...

Hey gnpenning, 2/3 Sorry I misspoke. I did change the travel limits as well as the up/down force limits. 6. thanks for the confirmation. 8.No it is not. Thanks for the advice, I don't care about look as long as its safe/functioning properly - which i believe it is. just wanted to confirm with...

@drivesitfar Its hard to compare. In Tacoma we were in an apartment near the mall (which had its benifits and negatives). Now we are in a house (that we own) in Ridgefield technically, but its super south ridgefield so it might as well be salmon creek. But now owning a home, I would never want...

@matt_i, thanks for your thoughts @gnpenning, 1. Agreed, I am more concerned about the shaking/movement of the carriage. 2-3. I previously moved them down all the way to the lowest setting and it didn't seem to change anything. They started at 5 (out of 10) I moved them all the way down to 1...

two valid points my friend

hahaha! Thanks Puget Dude. We just moved here from tacoma when we bought the house - so nice name, i can appreciate it. and four.cycle we used to live real close to each other.

hahaha nice emoji! Were just north of portland, but didn't want to say the portland metro area, because then everyone would assume i lived in portland.

Hey Guys, I bought a new build a year and a half ago. Garage door opener came with the house, no idea who installed it, but they seem to have done a poor job. Since I have no info on who installed it, I wanted to reach out to you guys to see if there is anything I can do, before paying someone...
