Have you seen my keys? Been carrying this for decades.

If that is your usage, play around with different door sizes. Maybe a 10' and a 16'? I had that on my last house and it worked well. The lift had the 10' door and the other cars shared the 16' door. We had a pickup, and SUV and a 2004 911 GT3 track car in there. Explore some options.

As mentioned previously - you will not like having that lift post so close to the truck in the center. One typically walks around that post when a car is on the lift and exiting the truck will be a challenge. Find a scale image of the truck with doors open and test it on your drawing. I...

Interesting approach to waking up a 5 year old thread. I choose not to do my own colonoscopy. I prefer to stay away from A-holes.

I have some receptacles for lights added to my garage well after is was built. I used a 2 gang box for the light switch feeding the ceiling receptacles. I put a GFCI receptacle in that switch box to protect the ceiling receptacles. I would have used a dead front GFCI to prevent someone from...

I have this one - 80kA, currently $136 at the big box store. I picked it after a discussion with the power quality engineer from my POCO.

Try measuring the diagonals instead of using a framing square. If diagonal measures are equal it’s square. Glad to see you went with the heavier drawer slides. Dems some big drawers. Or perhaps draws as some folks call it. Although I have never seen draw slides advertised.

If you have a heat gun, stage to hold the PCB, 10-30X stereo microscope, boom for microscope, Illuminator for microscope, proper flux or solder paste, fine tweezers, steady hands and some practice, these repairs are easy.

Hence my comment to validate the info using the included links (in red). YMMV.

I can't vouch for the accuracy of this AI info, but it mentions some ways to validate the info on the manufacturers website I would not be surprised if there are errors. The AC ands DC references seem inaccurate. No, the Canarm CP56D11N fan will not work with a traditional 3-position wall...

For a tool based forum like GJ, I'm surprised how many people mentioned trying to lift the door by hand instead of using a lever.

Sure looks like a switch leg given the white/black in the wire nut. I'm convinced.

Or this, the black hat is optional:

I'm posting this in flooring because I assume if you put custom cabinets in your garage, you have already addressed a nice floor. My buddy is seriously looking at this high end cabinet line for his fancy garage. I searched GJ and didn't find a hit. Anyone here seen or used this brand? I...

Off the top of my head I can think of 5 separate incidents where I got a call about something that quit working and it was because someone turned off a switch to a split receptacle. Life lesson…. Always check both holes. 😆

It absolutely disengages the spring. Some doors are heavier than others. And lifting the door can make a mess of the slack wires. Did you try lifting by hand? A little leverage goes a long way.

You are correct, I am not lifting them. Two motivated burglars against the OP's 300 lbs. door, needing to lift door high enough to crawl under it have a much better shot at lifting a door than I. In my case I suggest they walk around the side of the house and smash the window in the man door...

As said before, without the deadbolt lock, you can lift the door if you are strong enough. You won't be assisted by the torsion springs. Pulling the clutch release unlocks the jackshaft from the opener. If you to that, the springs will assist you in lifting the door. If the clutch is engaged...

Nope. This is a jackshaft opener. It will not hold the door down. The weight of the door is the only thing holding it down.

I have 2 of them. I like hearing the loud noise as I exit the garage. It's reassurance the lock engaged. How heavy is your door? I don't recommend trying to lift it as a test - the cables could tangle - unspool etc.
