FAQ

Find answers to the most common questions about fencing & metal stock.

Fencing & Metal Stock

Disconnect the opener, lift the door manually—it should stay open at 3–4 feet. If it drops or rises unevenly, adjust spring tension (caution: springs are dangerous—consider a pro).

Connect the equipment grounding conductor to the box's grounding screw using a pigtail - the green screw must make direct metal-to-metal contact.

Push out pins with a chain tool, remove extra links, and reconnect with a master link (or reuse the pin if it’s not damaged).

Wood (rustic), metal (modern), acrylic (sleek), or stone (durable). Choose based on weather resistance and style.
