Can one of the experts here tell me how to center (side to side) a garage door?
Background: 18x8 Clopay 5 section residential insulated steel garage door, installed roughly 20 years ago. Works fine and had a local company adjust the torsion springs recently. The door is off center, spring adjustment didn't change that. On one side the door is about 0.5in from the edge of the track, on the other side over 1.25in. This is not a huge problem in itself, except I'm trying to replace the flimsy original hinges with 14ga or 11ga hinges. The extra width of the heavier hinges doesn't fit on the close side. The "shoulder" on the roller shaft hits the hinge and doesn't quite fit in the track. I don't know how long the door has been off-center because I didn't notice it until recently.
I measured and both tracks are centered to the door opening and the the tops (horizontal runs of the tracks) are square to the wall of the door. What causes the door to be off-center and how do you center it? Thanks
