I would check for mechanical binding first. You can disengage the mechanical drive and try to move the door up and down manually. Possibly the drive didn't get fully engaged after repairing the spring.

Replacing a spring should not affect it, but I would start by checking to be sure the opener has power in case the installer unplugged it and forgot to plug it back in. If it is powered, look to see if anything was disturbed or obstructing the safety beam system. The red light on the beam should be a steady "on". If that is clear, I would try pulling the cord to release the door from the opener mechanism and see if the door is jammed. You should be able to open/close it manually. If the replaced spring does not match your original tension it may have cocked the door and jammed it. With the door still disconnected try the opener and see if the motor runs. If it does, the opener should work OK when you reconnect the door. If not, you may need to get the opener checked. To repeat, replacing a spring should not have affected the opener itself. Hope this helps.

take the box spring off and change the spacer. then put box spring back on. I would suggest trying the middle spacer first, then if not right only have to change once.

I did not have this problem. It sounds to me that one of these things is likely:1. You installed it wrong and you need to take it apart to reinstall. 2. Manufacturer defect.Hopefully you did not close the door and end up on the outside, because then you will have to try sliding something in between the door to push the lock out of the way. It will move even if the door is locked.

Not easy and not a strong unit. The inner spring broke with one strong wind blowing the door open. So I would think that trying to synchronize it would tighten the spring would make it break easier. I would not buy again since this did not show up immediately.

It shouldn't be a problem as long as your springs are adjusted so there is very little weight on the opener. I have a 18" door and it moves it no problem, although it takes very little effort to lift my door because the springs are adjusted properly.

I had a problem with my Genie ISL950 Garage Door. The garage door went up and down with the remote and wall switch, but the light would not turn on. I replaced the light bulb and looked for any wires cut or disconnected connections. I contacted a local overhead door company and they said that the circuit board does control the light. But there was a chance that it was another problem. Replacing the sequencer circuit board solved the problem.

True The LiftMaster is designed to raise and lower your Garage door that has a Torsion bar spring. It mounts on that torsion bar on either side of the door. It actually rotates the torsion bar to raise or lower the door. They work great, easy install and setup. I highly recommend it.

I had a loose spring too. I believe it's meant to help with the suction of the converter. I've not had any issues with it.

Definitely not this one. I have removed my third failed set of these worthless springs. No tech. support. No warranty support. I replaced them with http://www.hardwaresource.com/hinges/cabinet-hinges/vertical-door-stays/blum-aventos-door-lift. Good luck.

Mine was doing the same thing only after a few months of use. I used a needle-nosed pliers to bend the hinge on the left hand side just slightly. For ours it helped to bend it to the left and we continued to use trial and error of bending slightly then closing the door and repeating this until it closed snugly against the frame. Seems like a temporary fix, but hopefully it will hold out for at least a little bit. I also tried e-mailing the company about the problem and am waiting to hear back.

it lifts off the spring under it, may have to yank if spring is broken thru plastic to the inside.

It might work, I had to remove the large outer spring and then stretch the small spring, works fine now

Nothing. The garage door is behind the screen and can go freely up and down -- UNLESS there's a strong wind blowing. A strong wind may cause the magnets that close the screen to be attracted to the door, if it's steel.

so you can't open the door from the inside or from the outside ? if that is the case then the cable that runs from the door handle to the latch mechanism at the rear of the door behind the actuator has been knocked loose from the lever .

Yes, the spring is not permanently attached to anything. I would recommend using two people once again to do the removal with the weight of the tail gate.

There was enough spring in the uprights, just pull them apart. Put the cross bar in one end and push on it while pulling on the other upright.

Yes it will not allow the door to move up or down it is just locked in place
