other thing I was thinking about was whether the spring on the right is different tension than left, or vice versa, and needs some adjustment, as there are two springs, one for each side, obviously. Also track adjustment possibility; moving it to new position could help if it is not aligned...

I will see how balanced it is. It does stay open halfway, but as for staying open when it is say 12" off the ground, I'm not positive it does stay open. (going out to check). There seems to be some adjustment available on the springs/cable system. I believe they are called extension springs...

That was the joke when I bought the place, I thought there were no springs too. Then I found them, they are hidden beside the rails horizontally. Didn't take pictures of them. They are not a torsion spring setup, and they are not vertical springs like I have seen on other doors. They are...

Hi people, new to the forums as I just moved to a place with an awesome garage, although I do prefer double garages this is still a nice single. I am in the process of installing a garage door opener. It currently is set up as a nice manual door which works great. I have figured a way to...
