  3. I am not aware if the staff read the comments, but I express my thanks for the tutorials you upload. Being a new homeowner, I am joyous to learn this information.

  4. On the door reversal test, the 2×4 should be placed flat so the gap between the floor and the door is 2 (not 4 as shown in 0:46). Instead of carburetor cleaner (as shown in 1:35), use a non-toxic degreaser such as Simple Green or water with Dawn dish detergent.

  6. I have NEVER seen a torsion spring EVER twist that badly with the door in ANY position.
    As a matter of fact by the looks of it I would be taking cover… 2:48

  7. This guide misses the most important part: Re-grease the stupid plastic nylon gears inside the lift unit. Once the grease dries out (~10 years in regular climates), the gears turn into snow and fail.

  10. Actually spraying some lubricant on the tracks won’t cause the door to slip and become unbalanced. Spraying lubricant on the tracks will help the door roll smoothly. I’ve been doing this for 7 years, never had any issues with this.
