I received a single 7x9 clopay garage door from someone replacing their door. It has all the hardware and even the installation instructions. I have been for a week trying to =93retrofit=94 it to my
12x16 shed.
I have the track installed and can manually move it up or down but have tried and tried and cant get the torsion spring to work in helping with raising and lowering the door. I have done it countless times all that ends up happening is the wire on the pulleys on both ends end up =93birdnesting=94 and going everywhere. Yesterday it actually helped bull it up before it finally birdnested.
What can I do? Would having one pulley slightly higher than the other cause this problem? I have had to do the best job I could with the limited room I have.
Another thing I noticed is when I manually raise the door, the bottom roller seems to be in a different place on the track on one side verses the other. I measured the tracks on both sides though and they seem to be the same height.
One last thing when I put it all the way up the end of the door just barely touched a support on my shed roof. Just enough where the door wants to come down rather than stay in the upright position. Is there something I can add or do to keep the door up?
Anyway I appreciate any help as this is driving me nuts and my wife is tired of me spending all my time on this!
