I have been having similar issues with my door but it is 10 yrs old with a 1

for a couple days after I re-lubed the hinges and rollers. Turns out the
bearing are going bad in a couple rollers which causes enough resistance that
it sets off the down pressure safety reverse . I replaced all the rollers
(only about $20) my self and no more problems. Nylon rollers are a good option
if you like a more quiet door operation.


Rein has been holding his breath for 14 years waiting for your post. Thanks to you, he didn't suffocate. ^_^
