This was on an existing door. Probably about 10 years old if I had to guess. It certainly got me wondering how long it had been like this.

Problem solved! Thanks for all of the replies and for putting me on the right track. It turned out the bracket that is mounted to the top panel of the door was bent, which was preventing the rail stop from engaging. I added a reinforced bracket, adjusted the down force of the door, and adjusted...

Thanks! I’ve been playing around with it for a while here and I definitely think my problem has to do with the rail stop. I can hear it begin catch and then it slips by the rail stop. It doesn’t seem like there is much material there for it to latch on to. Is there a trick to installing one of...

Is this it with the square bolts? It’s kinda tough to tell from the diagram.

Let me know if you need others.

Door stays open with the lock disengaged while in the up position.

I just disengaged it and re-engaged it. It’s definitely engaging. I can hear it click. The chain moves along with the door in both directions.

Door opener is a Wayne Dalton model 3018

My buddy has a problem with his garage door opener I had never seen before. It operates up and down like normal with the push of the button. The problem is when the door is down...you can raise the door by hand. Newer unit. Nothing fancy. Lift master I think Any ideas?

Ive spent some time in search and have not found my exact answer. Building a lean to on my garage. 12' wide x 22' long. Installing the ledger to stud walls. Have a couple questions: Minnesota. I followed the typical ledger fastener " one up,one down" using 5" ledgerloks. It all worked nicely...

I have a fairly new (5 years old) 26 x 26 garage with the existing concrete in excellent condition. No big cracks and not a stain on it anywhere. I am considering having my floor treated with epoxy by a professional. This is a parking/polishing garage and not a ******** working garage. I live...

Fwiw...I am the seller. The chimney has two separate flues. A larger separate flue for the fireplace and a small separate flue for the venting for the oil furnace. I also came to the same conclusion regarding my next move. Call a chimney guy and have him come out and take a look. Take it from...

Hoping someone can offer some advice. I am selling my house. Inside the house I have a wood burning stove. A very nice one. It feeds from the garage side with a very large fire box. On the other side of it ( as seen from inside the home) it looks like any other fireplace with glass doors and a...

Right. Just like my air compressor has. Duh. Thank you.
