Suggestions based on experience??

TIA

Lou
What kind of opener do you have, the track with chain or the coiled
spring type?
Does it clunk when it starts to close, during the travel somewhere,
or when it contacts th the floor?
Where does the clunk noise originate from, the motor, the track or
coil, the door itself?
Is there a visible momentary stoppage, shudder, or other unusual
movement when it clunks?


It is clunking when it hits the floor which makes me think it is the
limit adjustment. Now I just need to find where it is.

Hi,
If it does not do it when manually closed, sounds like limit switch is
out of adjustment.


Or the attachment point.


Large Thanks to you and Hank for the effort. Will report back when I
solve the problem. What is "the attachment point"?
