garage door tension rod is shifting

[Trav]

My garage door tension rod is shifting on the way up, causing the cable drum to ride against the carriage bolt head when the door gets about 3/4 of the way open.

Hi Oren, I was going to skip this because I don't see any photos, nor a good description with measurements, so, as you surmised, there's just not enough information to go on.

To the OP: Look at this thread, and snap similar photos so we can "see" what you're talking about. I can "guess" what the problem is (as I had a problem with my anchor plates moving that I resolved) but a lot depends on your setup. (

Here are some BEFORE pictures from that thread:

Here are some AFTER pictures from that thread:

1. Final view (ugly, Rube Goldberged, but relatively functional):
2. Closeup of the right bearing end plate support:
3. Closeup of the spring anchor plate new bearing from Dan:
4. Closeup of the spring anchor plate from below:
5. Closeup of the left bearing end plate support (for two doors):
6. A view of the newly relocated and reinstalled spring:
7. Looking up at the right bearing end plate new support:
8. Then spring anchor plate still bends - not much can be done:

Hi Oren, I've seen our NNTP posts get placed on forums (i.e., nntp-to-forum); but not the other way around (which this one seems to be).

Do *any* of these forum-to-nntp posters ever respond back?

[Danny D.]

I figured as much.

The guy just died, despite your attempts to help him.

I'm just going to ignore all of those posts, until/unless someone proves themselves.

Thanks for caring!

I've made a filter for the Moaners Hub posts. Just see the replies.
