tension until door rests on the floor. If the door is hard to raise or drifts down on its own, add spring tension. A poorly balanced door can cause garage door operator operation problems.

To adjust spring tension, fully close door. Apply vice grips to track above third track roller. Insert a winding rod into the winding cone. On single spring doors, counterbalance lift cable tension must be maintained by placing vice grips on torsion shaft before loosening set screws in the winding cone. Push upward on the winding rod while carefully loosening the set screws in the winding cone. BE PREPARED TO SUPPORT THE FULL FORCE OF THE TORSION SPRING ONCE THE SET SCREWS ARE LOOSE. Carefully adjust spring tension 1/4 turn. Retighten both set screws in the winding cone and repeat for the other side. Recheck door balance DO NOT ADJUST MORE THAN 1/2 TURN FROM THE RECOMMENDED NUMBER OF TURNS.

If door still does not balance correctly, contact a qualified door agency. If the door still does not operate easily, lower the door into the closed position, UNWIND THE SPRING(S) FULLY (Reference the insert “Removing The Old Door/Preparing The Opening” section on torsion spring removal), and recheck the following the items:

1.) Check the door for level.

2.) Check the torsion shaft for level.

3.) Check the track spacing.

4.) Check the counterbalance lift cables for equal tension.

5.) Check the track for potential obstruction of the track rollers.

6.) Clamp locking pliers onto track and rewind springs.

IMPORTANT: If door still does not operate properly, then contact a trained door system technician.

These doors are characterized by their exceptional durability, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal, making them a popular choice among homeowners and builders alike.

One of the standout features of the Wayne-Dalton 7100 Series is its construction.

The doors can also be customized with decorative hardware, including windows and handles, allowing for a personalized touch that enhances curb appeal.

Wayne-Dalton incorporates advanced technology into the 7100 Series, making operation smooth and reliable. The doors are equipped with a high-quality torsion spring system, which ensures easy lifting and lower costs of maintenance. Additionally, the optional Wi-Fi-enabled garage door opener provides enhanced convenience and security, allowing users to monitor and control the door from their smartphones.

The 7100 Series also prioritizes safety, featuring pinch-resistant technology, which prevents fingers from getting caught during operation. This thoughtful design consideration makes the doors safer for families with children and pets.
