DIY safe (every 6 months) 1. Spray synthetic lube on rollers, hinges and springs 2. Wipe down weather seal 3. Tighten visible hardware (1/2" socket on lag bolts) 4. Test the photo-eye reversal—wave a broom under 5. Test balance—disconnect opener and lift to half-mast

Leave to a pro - Spring tension adjustment - Cable replacement - Track alignment - Opener force/limit settings
