Garage Door

xvl260 asked:


Can 1/2hp garage door openers open a 2 car garage door without spring? One side of the wire on my garage door broke, right now the door is crooked. If I cut the remain wire, the door will not be sprung, will the garage door opener still have enough power to open it? This is just temp solution until I can get it fixed, but I need to know before I cut. Thanks.
What I had to do last night was, I losened the bolt that was holding the wheel that was winding the wire, it released the spring’s energy, then I just manually opened the door with a buddy. I’m going to hire a professional to fix it and wind it back to the proper tension though.

Wife lost her garage door opener but I still have mine. Can I buy one at a place like Home Depot and program it easily? Also, this is not for a house garage, it is for a condo complex that has a garage so I probably do not have access to a “unit” or whatever it is called; just my garage door opener.

Thanks!

There is a lever that actually pulls and open the garage door when you press your garage-door button. Then there is a short metal bar along the chain (long) from the motor (box) and the garage door which grips the metal bar so it opens and closes the garage. This short metal bar runs when the garage door button is pressed along the chain, but it is not gripping as it should hence, the door is not opening and closing. Anyone has solution how to fix this ? I would appreciate the correct suggestion. Thank you.

Were are in the middle of closing a loan on a home we are buying and the garage door has to be free of chipped paint before the inspector sees it. Any body know a quick and easy way to strip the paint chips and to paint a wood paneled garage door?
Do I need to prime IT?
