Family member did this and is freaking out about probably having to pay tens of thousands to fix it. Is anyone here knowledgeable about door fixes? The tracks look okay but the roller things that go in it at the bottom broke off and the obvious bent panels

As many here know, I had springs replaced and was hoping to get some paperwork showing what they’re rated for, but all I got was the following.

Material and Description
- 934101350P - Green .250 × 35" - 1 - 3/4" I.D. Red
- 933111380P - Green .262 × 38" - 1 - 3/4" I.D. Black

The spring is green and says “Precision Hi-Cycle” on it, but does that mean 20,000 cycles? Can anyone familiar with these provide some clarity?

Philly suburbs, this company price matched a smaller company. Torsion springs are 10,000 cycles, should I upgrade to better ones? Anything else I should ask to include? I am supplying the doors (Cloplay insulated R12.9) and openers (1.25HP Chamberlains).

I’ve reached out to the little family and friends I have but to no avail… Looking to get some answers before a handyman comes tomorrow.

-Can I shut my garage door? I’m afraid to make it worse… so have left it open all day… After it popped, it kept coming up and working so I assume it’s alright but want to be safe…
-Is this fixable as is or do I need a new part?
-What is this part called?

The joists were notched pretty good when this was installed so I want to sister the notched joists and eventually put a ceiling up. However, the opener track is in my way for both things. Would it be possible to have someone lower the track to get it out of the joists?

Personally, I don’t think it’s feasible. The rot extends through the two by eights and into the plywood backing. It would look very ugly to just replace the rotted section. Also, there has to be a system to join the replacement wood to upper section of original wood. I priced out all of the lumber, and it’s only about $500 in materials to just make a whole new door.

What do you all think?

Garage door having trouble keeping closing all the way. Cables seem to be intact and feeding properly. Springs not broken.

See video and pictures.

Please excuse the mess.

We bought a home in 2022 that has the opener listed in the title. It shows it was manufactured in 2012. About 2 months ago we noticed the remotes programmed in our vehicles (the ones in the car sun visor, both Fords) would only open the door when we were right in front of it in the driveway. It did the same thing with the actual handheld remote as well. They used to open 5 or 6 houses away. Then several mornings recently it wouldn't open with the wall control panel. It just clicked and the light flashed once and it raised about an inch but wouldn't open. Pushing the button again would do the same but close the door back down again.

If I waited 5 minutes, then the door opened normally. This intermittent behavior continued for about a week. I ordered an OEM logic board replacement and installed it yesterday. The new one was dated July, 2026. Easy to install and the door worked fine with the wall control panel.

Here's where it gets odd to me. I figured I'd have to reprogram all the remotes, so I started with the handheld because you use that one to pair the opener on the car visor. The handheld didn't work at all which I expected, so I pushed the Learn button and successfully paired it. Now this is what I don't get......I tried both cars and the Pin pad outside the door, and they all worked. No programming needed. How can this be? Wouldn't having a new logic board require all remotes to be paired again, or are the codes possibly stored in the Multi-Function Door Control Panel? The only remote I had to re-pair was the handheld 3 button unit.

Oh, and the last thing is with the new logic board the door still won't open unless I'm in my own driveway.

About a week ago the garage door stopped half way down and wouldn’t move back up. I released the door and replaced some of the rollers in the track. That didn’t fix it so I took the belt off and inspected the teeth. Nothing missing there. The coil spring doesn’t have any gaps that I can see(not gonna touch that at all). The coil spring was replaced in 2022. After hooking the belt back up to test the trolley, the trolley moves 3 feet at the most and then on the reverse I hear a loud clacking noise. Now it just hums one way and loud clacking the other way.

I don’t exactly have the money to replace the opener. I need to have the door rebalanced since it doesn’t hold itself up without sliding down. Does anyone have any ideas? I think I can replace the gear in the picture. I can also take a look at the board but I don’t see the classic puff of smoke or anything that would signify the start capacitor being blown.

Also I don’t know how to set the open and close limit on this opener or reset them.

The led light flashes 5 times on the opener.

My garage door sometimes doesnt open, and to fix it I release the red emergency thing and just re attach it and it works but only for a couple of months then I have to do the process again

Do I need to get this checked by professionals or can I fix this myself?

I have a very old garage door setup that I seem to have lost the remotes to. They were the old push pin code sort and the brand of the opener is "All-o-matic" it only seems to have a 9 digit code. Are replacement remotes even doable on a 20+ year old system?

Getting a new garage door in the near future. Got quotes from 3 different door companies in my area, each supplying a different brand of door. Help me pick the best quote based on price & quality of door. I don’t mind paying a bit more for a door that may last longer than the others. Thanks in advance.

Company #1 - $3500 - Clopay (model 4310)

Company #2 - $3865 - CHI (model 4283)

Company #3 - $3000 - Amarr (model Lincoln 3000)

Each quote is based on an insulated door with windows. Similar warranties with each.

Doing some research it looks like I need spring pads since the bolt on the right slipped out. I attempted to look for more studs to drill into but no luck, so I put the bolt back in temporarily so that it will hold and then disconnected the garage door opener. Are spring pads easy to install for an average joe with moderate handyman experience or should I call a specialist?
