    New Door/Opener Install - Problem with interference Empty New Door/Opener Install - Problem with interference

    Post  Zorba68 Sun Apr 02, 2023 8:20 pm

    Installed a new Wayne Dalton Model 9100 8x7 door (first time). Also, Genie belt drive opener. Door has low headroom due to bulkhead so using Super Sneakys to offset that issue. 
    When I try to close the door, the top panel hits the opener boom as it just begins to down turn. 

    When I look on line at various install videos with low headroom that use the Super Sneakys they seem to use a straight opener arm rather than the typical "hockey stick" looking deal. In these videos the Sneaky's stay in the closed position until the door is almost vertical then they get pushed open - so the panel doesn't pivot way up before going down. 

    Something I'm missing in positioning the opener arm or it's shape is my guess!

    Picture should show my problem.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.  I'm a bit nervous to try something "new" - afraid I'll damage the top panel.

    When you are in the process of installing a new garage door, it is important to consider the architectural style and design of your home, especially the exterior elements. Although there are various materials available for garage doors, ranging from aluminium to different types of composite wood, steel is widely regarded as the most dependable and popular choice for door material.
