Garage door adjustment?
I am trying to install a garage door opener but the door hits the track when I tested for clearance. The bracket for the track is as high as it will go (ceiling). The opener is supposed to work for my 8' ceiling also. Would the larger roller brackets at the top of the doors be the culprit? If so, what is the remedy?
Update:I thought of cutting a notch but I hadn't thought of cutting the vertical rails. I'll have to check my door height. Thanks Bill!

There is a conversion kit that you can buy for low ceilings. Another thing that you can do is cut a few inches off the bottoms of the side rails and lower them. If you do this just make sure that there is enough so that the top of the door will be flat against the opening. If your door extends several inches above the opening when it is closed you could also notch the center of the door to miss the track. That is what I had to do with mine.
i could suspect that the springs that help/counterweight the door have weakened with age. The opener does not have a lot to do with how stressful the door comes down. you could set how a lot rigidity is utilized earlier the door reverses yet even the main efficient storage door opener does not particularly word deadly rigidity. try disconnecting the door from the opener. It has a launch to permit taking off the door interior the form of a potential failure. that is going to be accessible to open the door with your fingertips if the springs are ok.
you can get quick turn brackets for your door
