It will probably do but it depends on the frame above and bellow the bracket. In my case the frame of the panel was OK and only the bracket had a crack. Replace it and solved the problem.

If the opener is attached directly to the bare garage door, this bracket will reinforce the garage door and the opener connects to this bracket instead of the door itself. Also if the opener is not adjusted properly it may be pushing too far down when the door closes against the ground. That should be checked.

The bracket will eventually break. Make sure that the door is free moving when disengaged from the garage door opener. I would check and see if the bracket is bent or broken and replace it if necessary. You will have to drill new mounting holes.

You have installed it wrong. Mine did this and I went back and read the instructions and I had the mechanism inside installed 180 degrees off. Reinstalling it correctly solved the problem. This feature (pushing the logo button) allows you to lock the deadbolt without entering the combination and it should only work once for locking the door. If it works all the time anyone could walk up to the door - push the button and open the door. Please check your installation.

You need to pop off the plastic covers on the hinges and tighten them. I had the same problem but it's a really easy fix.

On the panel that you're talking about, make sure that it's not upside down. It's actually a window and it has two latches to keep it closed by sliding along the bars.

I was able to tighten mine up so that it does not turn at all. Make sure any old gasket or caulking materials are cleaned from both upper and lower surfaces. Use proper tools to avoid damage to the unit. If you feel that you will break the tightening nut or damage the threads, try a little "Loctite" between the upper portion of the nut and sink. You can get a replacement nut if things go wrong!!

I can't help you with this one. I purchased this for my garage door. Ask maintenance for help?

I can guess the cable drum is not in the correct position. If cable is loose when door is closed, the drum set screws can be loosened and the drum rotated on the torsion tube to remove the slack from the cable and the set screws retightened.If the cable comes off as the door is raised the drum is probably not aligned above the cable lift point on the door. The drum is moved to the appropriate position as above.I do agree with the previous reply about the installer being incompetent and to find another.I do not agree with the statement that the unit is not a good one.

Never had that problem. The door was the wrong one to begin with so we sent it back. Sorry I can't help you.

Yes, it does. If the door moves erratically, a likely problem is this board. However, if the door does not move at all, first check the condenser (cylindrical object not on the left side as the board is, but on the right side). Condenser is only about $15 and 5 minutes to replace. Unfortunately, this older design of garage door openers does not age very well (~10 yrs), and e.g. the lifter overburdened by rusty motor and/or not well greased screw can produce repeated failures in both the board and the condenser. Consider replacing the entire lifter with the novel technology of extremely quiet and more reliable "belt-driven opener". It sets you back about $200 to buy. You can replace screw-system with belt-system if you are handy, but it takes a couple of hours of labor. Professionals probably replace in 1 hour - but will charge you "professionally".

If it's turning around, it means that it's not properly secured with the lock pin. Note that it has cut-outs for the pin, just the same as the base itself, You're supposed to line those up and have the pin secure both in place.

There is also a little button on the side, that when put in the off position, may solve the problem. Also, while you are at it check to see if the rear holding bracket is not loose.

I agree with the others, but it the hinge is just loose you can pop the plastic cover off the top , loosen it until the door pins slip in place and then tighten it back and replace the cover.

Maybe bending twisting or pulling on it too much. I ruined my last one that way. I keep this one in my car and it works fine so far.

Take a peek at your unit. Has the metal plate that holds the door shut via magnet disappeared? My husband actually screwed the plate to the door and fixed the problem.
