[QUOTE="wawazat, post: 3578766, member: 35603"] Kevin was the name of the guy that came and fixed what our builder's contractor couldnt get right on my high lift garage door with jackshaft opener. Im not sure if it is the same guy or not, we got his direct contact info from my FIL. He was phenomenal and very knowledgeable. His opinion is that the spring pack will make or break any opener regardless of size. The springs should carry the majority of the weight of the door, the opener is mostly there to control the rate of loading and unloading the spring. His very first test was to disconnect the opener mechanism and lift the door by hand. He said if you cant raise it with one hand and it stay at full open when you let go, you dont have enough spring on it and the opener will not have the length of service it should. [/QUOTE]
