Questions & Answers
Will this work on a Pella door?
Asked by Mitch November 21, 2018Yes. It worked with my Pella 192 inch by 84 inch door. All of the holes for the self-tapping screws lined up except one was slightly off center but the self-tapping feature took care of that. Pella recommends a reinforcement bracket and in the instructions stated that the reinforcement bracket should come with the electric garage opener, but the Chaimberland brand I bought did not have one included.
Will this work with an older wooden garage door?
Asked by PapaBear June 14, 2018I believe it would work as long as you follow the recommendations for reinforcing the top of the door with 48 inch punched angle iron to distribute the pressure when it is being lifted.
Is the bracket adjustable to fit an 18 inch top panel?
Asked by Brian July 23, 2016I don't believe you can easily modify the 21 inch bracket. I did notice in the directions that came with my kit that an 18" bracket kit is available by special order.
What do I do if there is a window right where this product would sit
Asked by Zhnt May 12, 2020Easy install, works as advertised!
Can this be installed over the current support bracket that is there?
Asked by Keith December 26, 2018The operator comes with a small bracket that fastens to the style on the panel, but is not used when an ORB (Operator Reinforcement Bracket) is available. It is highly recommended to reinforce the top panel with an ORB and at least a 1 1/4" x 1 1/4" punched angle 14ga (12ga is better) running the full length of the panel on the top edge. And it is preferable to support the top panel with a support stutt instead of punched angle, especially when the door is longer than 10' or is insulated and/or has windows. The manufacturer's warranty will not be honored if the door is not properly reinforced when attached to an automatic opener.
The reinforcement Bracket is it suppose to open and close when the door goes up and down?
Asked by Demitrus November 23, 2015No, the bracket does not move. It is firmly attached to the top panel of the garage door and does not move independent of the garage door.
What size is the clevis pin for attaching the opener arm?
Asked by Clev January 4, 20165/16". I actually bought a Everbilt 5/16 in. x 2-3/4 in. Zinc-Plated Square Wire Lock Pin for $3 out of the specialty fasteners drawer, and that way I couldn't drop or lose the cotter pin. It fits perfectly.
