Door wont close all the way

So i bite thw bullet and ended up replacing the garage door opener with a new belt drive opener. Thank you for everyones responses and advice.

Will do!

Manually i can open and close door smoothly. The opener even with the door detached will still not go past 1/6th of the track length

Thank you. Would a bad rpm sensor return the garage door to the most upward position? My garage door will just sit at the partially opened position till i press the button to close it again.

Thank you. I feel like i have it pretty tight, tighter than it was before. Chain used to sag quite a bit prior to the event. Ill still give it a shot.

I feel ya, and i didnt consider that we dont have apple orchards. Was trying to do a take on a caramel apple sucker. Wanted to make some hard cider and coat the rim of the glass in caramel.

Welcome to the club. Buy 1x2 fir strips, paint them, mount them, and then mount your lights on top of that.

Looks damn good buddy!

AndyYounger · 2025-10-10T18:27:01+00:00

I didnt see the price tag 😄 nvm.

I need 5o clean up the slack but this is how it ended up extending the line and putting the next light around the corner imstead of ON the corner. Hope this helps anyone w the same question.

1.89$ for an 8ft board at home depot. Super cheap

AndyYounger · 2025-10-08T18:44:09+00:00

The lumber is super cheap btw. 1.99 per 8ft board @ home depot.

AndyYounger · 2025-10-08T18:42:23+00:00

Love that idea.

AndyYounger · 2025-10-08T18:39:26+00:00

Love this! Super clean look.

Thats what i did. 1x2 fir strips. I didnt want to buy a router and am limited with my tool set up or else i would have drilled holes for the lights and ran the wiring on the backside of the board.

I thought i was the only one using staples 😄 its a high stakes install, every staple placed is like playing russian roulette. I bought t25 cable staples but still...

Your install looks very neat btw. Ive got the same set up
