Do not, I repeat do not, put in an automatic garage door opener
without having a fully working door assembly. You will have tears if
you do because if the door mechanism misbehaves as the door is being
opened or closed the motor will continue piling on the pressure. You
could end up with a bent door or worse.

Thanks for the advice - looks like I'll need to get the door sorted
out before trying to automate it.

Cheers,

Han.
