Great to hear! Thanks ☺️

Glad I could help that’s awesome 🤩

Awesome 💪🏻 let me know what pub 😂

haha too funny. Glad it helped !! Cheers

👍🏻 good luck hopefully this helps

@@rollerdoors it certainly did , works better than ever for a door that probably 25+ yrs . Had to adjust tension as door was little hard to pull down and going up on its own. Now to readjust front roller door. Thank you.

Great suggestion! I’ll do that soon

Side note it is a overhead rolling door

Oops. Usually you would take the sidetracks off, And it might be easier with some help, but then roll the door up from the top like a news paper and keep it tight and then tie rope around it. Then when you’ve got it tied up tight, you can roll it forwards away from you and then untie it and pull it down a bit. Don’t let Go until you’ve got the tracks back on

@@rollerdoors thank you mate

Yeah, I’ve got a video especially about ballooning

Yes you can do new springs, but the only time I’ve ever had to do that is if one has snapped which may be the issue but if the springs haven’t snapped, I guarantee it should be able to be balanced correctly as there is really infinite adjustment in springs for this very reason as they get older.

Thanks 😊 at the moment I charge a flat rate $169 for my complete service !

​@rollerdoors that's cheap. We charge 500 and up here. If it needs any "parts" that price my double 😮

Haven’t heard of Janus 2000 it could be more of a commercial door

Not familiar with Janus, but you’ve usually got to release all the spring tension first if one side detaches to ne able to fix it back or it will be uneven.

Hey thanks 😊 1. Quick fix is to centre the door and place a coning clamp on each side of the axle next to the drum wheels 2. Proper fix it’s probably the door hasn’t been centred it on the brackets, even though it’s level, it may have been installed to one side more and wants to keep going back that there. Easiest way would be to remove the motor, re clamp that side and Roll the door up evenly without the tracks and that’s where it will sit and then you know which way to move the shaft over. How i usually do it is loosen one of ubolts and then put my Stilson’s on the other side. Loosen that one and wiggle it over a bit. In your case you could push the motor side bracket out and clamp it, then go to the other side and loosen it, and then go and push the motor bracket and shaft inwards that will push the door over 30-40mm.

Oh mate. Thankyou very much for the detailed reply. I will give that a try tomorrow. I really appreciate you taking time out of your Sunday to give me such a concise explanation. 👍

They do grip on in one direction when pulling downwards towards the jaw opening and release in the other direction when pushing towards the closed “top” of the stilsons

PS your work on the egr was the best 😅😅

Thanks mate I’m afraid I’m in SA

Haha cheers yeah that was a job & a half

Oh dear !! Hopefully it works out. You could also drill a couple of holes through the pipe and use 2 long metal bars to turn it. I might do a video soon

🤫

I have actually and it simply states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be converted from one form to another. So technically, energy transferred from my bicep and tricep into tensioning the springs will be forever stored in the door to assist with its operation until such time it is accidentally released again as rotational kinetic energy and heat in a matter of seconds. 💪🏻 Thanks for watching

Hard to explain but I might have a video or over at @natestoolbox on alignment

Correct 👍🏻 until you’ve got a good grip with the stilsons

Which side is tight - presumably the one opposite to the stilsons? Then once the stilsons are in place you loosen the opposite u-bolt before turning the stilsons? Sorry, the steps are not clear to me.

Beauty thanks for the reply 👍🏻👍🏻
