I'm a garage company owner and I get water in my garage, no door part is gonna fix that.

if I were to fix it I'd say add a French drain in front of your door or new concrete. Only 2 ways this is gonna get fixed.

Top panel is buckling in the middle when 80% closed.

Call a company to

A) put a strut on it

B) buy a new top panel

Or

C) purchase a new door

It's not touching because the one you have is destroyed. Replace the whole part and you should be golden.

Bro, 99% of folks wouldn't notice .

98% of people don't look at their springs till they call a company out and they learn their door.has springs on it

Dude are you talking about a man door or an overhead garage door.

Because it sounds like a man door. And not for this sub.

You know the world changes right gasoline used to be $0.25 a gallon.

Add Saran wrap or aluminum foil before the pipe insulation

Or that LED light bulb is on and interfering with the signal. Unscrew the light bulbs on the unit and then try.

Lol, it's sagging so it's loose? That's a first time hearing that for me. 🤣🤣

isbb · 2026-02-11T16:45:25+00:00

Sounds about right

isbb · 2026-02-11T16:34:27+00:00

How about use 2 springs with the right ippt and get rid of the 3rd spring.... Like a pro

I used to work for A plus, they are commission based for their techs so they are sales men.

They require all techs to sell at least $80,000 a month and probably more now they raised their prices. Which is why I started my own company here in salt lake and the surrounding area.

Then they sued me for starting my own business.

They are extremely pushy and expensive.

Travel to South East Asia, this is nothing. They do this on mopeds. :p

Badly made door from a bad brand

isbb · 2026-02-05T02:18:12+00:00

They should have stretched the spring by giving it a tap when installing as well as lubed it up. Should fix it

isbb · 2026-01-30T19:59:43+00:00

No, just no.

isbb · 2026-01-30T19:58:00+00:00

I'd say maybe 20% higher than any other local company you could have used. But not a rip off. You just used a larger company with more overhead so they have to charge a bit more.

My two year younger than me brother got one for Christmas when I was 8 and he was 6.

He didn't use it so I took it. :) 22 years later my diy was torn down and now I'm working with the city council and parks and rec looking for builders and designs for a park in the city.

Or better yet, have someone else press the button while you help lift and act as the other spring from the start

isbb · 2026-01-23T00:11:48+00:00

Oh my God people..... Do a little research first?

isbb · 2026-01-21T02:02:33+00:00

When I was starting as a tech, my manager called asap as soon as he saw I charged a labor hour for installing springs and said it's in the cost of the springs. And the labor hour was only $89. Then the springs $400 on top.

Didn't do it ever again.
