The Amarr Garage Door Nightmare

[@PapaTony5340]

The way I was taught the operator arm mounts, even with the top brackets

Yep I’m on the same page as Papa Tony 👍

I would use the 3” Stuts on a 18’ because of the span. The sensor looks like the man door is hitting it. The bottom plate bracket when the door is messed up i have some 22ga plate squares that I fasten good to the door then mount the bracket to that. The arm looks good

[@affordabledoorgatellc7391]

All good info. The man door won’t open up only a quarter of the way because the concrete is unlevel.

I use Garage Door Operator Bracket Arb Adjustable Half Hinge for every motor install. My local distributor. Has them 15

[@affordabledoorgatellc7391]

Good idea 👍

[@Edward-xj4mp]

Only thing I'd do differently is add an operator reinforcement bracket to that door. Especially if that was mine. They do cost a little but the top panel folded in half is a far bigger problem.

@@Edward-xj4mp you can make one out of punch angle and use a 1/2 bolt and two nuts

[@affordabledoorgatellc7391]

Very true.

[@joesgaragedoorservice7506]

agree with 18'wide

[@affordabledoorgatellc7391]

I’m telling ya 16’ is the sweet spot. 18’ always feels wrong out of balance.

Amarr doors are always like that. I have been installing brand new non insulated doors from amarr and they are shit as hell

[@affordabledoorgatellc7391]

That’s good to know. Sucks they are that way. They always came in dented and scratched. It was every door. Sure makes it hard on the installers in the field.

@ actually I have many videos doing the same you showed and getting the roller out of track after I installed, I have never seen this with another brand.
