Garage Door Moves Back And Forth

I think the problem is the outer carriage and inner carriage have so much clearance they rock back and forth.

Garage door moves back and forth. The door will move back and forth sometime 1 2 inch sometimes 1 foot. Open and close the door manually checking for smooth door operation. If that doesn t fix the problem take a look at the auto reverse function. Garage doors come with a reverse mechanism which serves as a safety feature.

Sometimes garage doors close half way change their mind and go back up. Try to open the door manually. I installed 2 of these jan 2015 and they have been doing. They seem to either love teasing you or fear closing.

Causing the loud rattling. If the door doesn t reverse back before it hits the wood then you ll need to clean the eyes. Disengage the door from the trolley by pulling the emergency cord if none of the basic checks reveals a simple explanation for why the door won t open. Don t fault their hesitation there are several reasons for this frustrating behavior.

It s also a good idea at this point to look at the garage door itself at this point. It may need adjustment in order to function properly. Oddly enough it seems to follow a sequence every 3rd push of button it seems ot move the most about 1 foot the green led blinks 4 times. Have a garage door repair technician fix the door and tracks if the door binds up on the tracks.
