I don't really like how the spring shaft just sits in those plates and relies on that little plastic part to hold it in place. It sbould be more like a standard bearing plate where it slides through
Even though it’s a smaller door I think it should have a center shaft bracket. Been on a service call where the shaft was sagging and making the door work wonky.
I’m sure it’s not helping the coupler with the screws. They will want to come lose over time. I think about through bolts with a nylon nut might help long term. I agree about the center support. I used to take them off old tear outs for this kind of situation.
Nice video!
Dave take the rubber out, flip it 180° and slide it back in. Then the rubber won’t roll up the outside trim
I need to start doing that. That’s a good idea. Old habits are hard to break lol.
this. i do a lot of chi doors and their rubber is always pointing out. flipping it around helps

I would agree. Lot’s of pressure for a plastic part. I haven’t seen one fail yet. They are kinda throw away after years of service.

Menards sells struts and torsion tubes that are 1 piece and not the piece together
I didn’t know about the torsion tube. Good to know.
