Preparing your Garage Door

Before you begin:

• Disable locks.

• Remove any ropes connected to garage door.

Complete the following test to make sure your

garage door is balanced and is not sticking or
binding:

1. Lift the door about halfway as shown. Release

the door. If balanced, it should stay in place
supported entirely by its springs.

2. Raise and lower the door to see if there is any

binding or sticking.

If your door binds, sticks, or is out of balance, call
a trained door systems technician.
