Once you have safely disconnected the power source to your garage door, it is time to start leveling. Start by loosening up the mounting screws on the side of the wall-mounted track that is closest to the floor. Measure and adjust the height of this specific side until it is at least an inch lower than the opposite side of the track. When you have done this, tighten up all screws.
Next, measure the distance between the bottom of your garage door and the floor. This should be around a ΒΌ-inch gap for optimal performance. If it is too large or too small, adjust the horizontal tracks accordingly with a wrench.
The springs of your garage door will also need to be adjusted for proper leveling. To do this, use a winding bar and adjust the spring tension until it is even on both sides of the door. If you do not feel comfortable doing this step, contact a professional garage door replacement Chester service that can help you complete the task safely.
Once all of the components have been adjusted, it is time to do a test run. Press your garage door opener and then slowly open and close the door. Make sure that the door moves smoothly on both sides of the tracks and remains level throughout its journey. If any adjustments need to be made, repeat the process until everything is in order.
Congratulations! You have successfully leveled your garage door. Now you can rest assured that it will run safely and efficiently for many years to come.
If you ever experience any problems with the operation of your garage door, contact a professional service provider who is experienced in repair and maintenance. They will be able to resolve the issue quickly and accurately.
