I'm not real familiar with steel studs but occasionally you'll see a whole house framed with them, including the exterior walls. Just remember anything [siding] you attach to the studs will need to be screwed on.

It is my understanding most steel studs sold at big box are non load bearing so check before you buy.

Car reversed into garage door; door slides a bit wonky now

C

cartman on May 21, 2018

A family member reversed into the garage door while it was fully closed. It was a pretty light impact given that the rear of the car was only a couple of feet from the door when the car was parked. The door still goes up and down, but near the end of the down phase, the rollers bounce around more than they used to. Here's video of the door. [URL="https://youtu.be/Od3dFzxm_dQ"]https://youtu.be/Od3dFzxm_dQ[/URL] Notice how the rollers by the top right side of the door bounce around as the door is near fully closed. I don't see any obvious track deformities from the accident. Is this something I should worry about in terms of motor failure? I'm not worried about the springs - I replaced those myself very recently and installed safety cables. By the way, if you noticed the other thread I made about a non-functioning garage door opener ([URL="https://www.doityourself.com/forum/garages-garage-door-openers-work-shops-sheds-breezeways-carports/593410-garage-door-opener-motor-working-but-chain-isnt-moving.html#post2704864"]link[/URL]), this is a 2 car garage. The non-working door is the other door in the video (and it's disconnected from the trolley).Read More

How to reset Wayne Dalton BDOR 2000

Newbie on May 21, 2018

Hi there. I am looking at the manual online and can't see anywhere how to reset the door travel parameters. I suspect something got caught on the door track or something because one morning I closed the door or so I thought, it actually reversed itself after I pushed the wall control button. I had to leave next day so just ended up forcing the door down with my foot when it tried reversing again. Now it either makes a little attempt at opening the door (when I push the wall or remote button) but not moving the door at all on the way up or it stops about 5" on it's way down (sometimes still reversing and opening the door all the way) I don't remember what is the red button is for on the "brain unit", but I tried pushing and holding that button, red light came on and then nothing happened. Thank you in advance,Read More
