What Is Door Balancing & Tension Adjustment?
Door balancing means the door weight is properly counterbalanced by the springs. Uneven tension causes one side to rise faster, sag, or bind. Tension adjustment involves recalibrating spring winding and cable tension so the door moves smoothly and the opener doesn't work too hard.
