Thank you, your video saved me when I had ballooning. now the door runs perfect.😀

[@ianfrost1419]

Awesome brother 👏 The only thing that could help is marking the track with a witness line or mark to keep track of have you have moved it. Very helpful video, thanks 😊

Dude. Thanks a lot. I've been searching rollerdoor videos and info on the internet for some time. I didn't realize that my door had a tension issue. Sorted that out thanks to this video. Now I am batteling with a controller for the motor that only lifts up... and doesn't want to lower the door. Limits checked. They look like they work. So my thought was reprogram a remote. Now my remote is not having any effect.

[@rollerdoors]

You’re welcome!! One direction could mean a faulty limit switch or plug to the box

[@WestCoastMountainBiker]

@@rollerdoors hey. Thanks for the reply. It looks like one of the relays is the issue. I figured it out by tapping on it with a screwdriver. It seems like it works for a while. And if it doesn't giving the relay a tap does the trick again. Would I be able to replace the relay with a soldering job? Or should I think of relacing the entire control box? The remote issue seems like the receiver needs the be replaced.

Hey mate, just recently hoped into this trade of work and I’m trying to be a sponge and absorb all types of knowledge and I just want to say your vids are clear, educational and fairly simple to understand. Well done.

[@rollerdoors]

Thanks, I’m all for sharing knowledge experiences as there was almost no resources when I started 20 years ago. Where abouts are you located ?

[@Justin-bn2ob]

Thanks mate, I need to try this tomorrow as mine is all the way up but ballooned!

[@rollerdoors]

Awesome Good luck! 🤞🏻 and stay safe

[@Swenser]

Just like a bought one. Sweet. For a problem where the door stops and reverses, could it also be a problem with the brake mechanism within the motor assembly?

[@annettecrofts6845]

Many thanks

Why silicon spray the tracks? That will collect dust and grime which the felt will start getting ruined collecting grime then eventually getting tacky and start sticking

[@rollerdoors]

That’s a great point! Silicon spray is a fantastic choice for roller door tracks because it doesn't leave a sticky residue or attract dust like oily sprays like WD-40. And unlike oily sprays, silicon spray doesn’t oil or grease the tracks, which can actually cause more problems by attracting dust and turning your nylofelt edge black and sticky and will 100% ruin your door. I’ve been recommending silicon spray for over 15 years now, and I can confirm that it’s a reliable and effective solution for garage door track maintenance. Remember: Many garage doors have a sticker that says “Do Not Grease.” This is because greasing the tracks can actually shorten the life of your door. Silicon spray is a great alternative that won’t void your warranty and can help your door operate smoothly for years to come but manufacturers would never tell you this because they don’t want your door or service interval to be prolonged as this is how they make revenue.

One of the best videos mate, l have same problem but my door manual doesn’t have motor can I follow this video our its different way to fix manual roller garage door?

[@rollerdoors]

Thanks. Yes, absolutely 👍🏻 but it probably requires some spring tension I’ve got a video on that too

[@zacj63]

Very helpful video mate👍 Is lt always the left side to retention ?

[@rollerdoors]

Cheers. Any side is ok but always pull down on the shaft.

[@zacj63]

Thanks mate much appreciated 👍👍

[@zacj63]

I tried to fix it last weekend. I retention three time from the right side, and two times from the left side, but it looks the same. It’s still ballooning. Then I realised I did the retention when the shutter is down. Nothing changed and still ballooning. Do you recommend I open the shutter up and do the retention, and can I do the retention from both sides or only one side? Thanks for your patience. Appreciate your help.

[@annettecrofts6845]

Hi Can you help I have a reverse roll roll a door that has lost its tension and has ballooned, It is currently rolled up do I need to release and let the door down before re-tensioning?

[@rollerdoors]
