When the door does not settle evenly

An opening gap can result from more than a weather seal. Tell us whether the door is level and whether the problem began after impact or another change. Do not adjust lifting cables or loaded brackets to force the bottom edge into place.

Reassess any larger scope

A repair may preserve the current assembly, while a full replacement introduces different product and project questions. South Miami’s Building Division handles the City’s relevant review. Ask for the findings that justify a change in scope and keep any revised proposal explicit.

Your questions

Is a scraping sound always a roller problem?

No. Tracks, hinges, sections or other movement issues may contribute. The assessment should identify the source before parts are selected.

Should I detach the opener to test the door?

Do not disconnect an elevated or compromised door. Describe the observed behavior and let the professional determine a safe inspection method.
