Our techs weigh the door to determine exact spring size and wire diameter for Longview’s specific housing styles, perfectly adjusting coil tension.
The button does nothing, or the drive powers up and the door just sits there. Stripped gears, a dead logic board, or a photo eye knocked sideways is usually the fault.
