Increasing garage door height for car lift and opener jackshaft conversion

Рет қаралды 74,292

3 жыл бұрын

I wanted more garage door headroom for my car lift so I made this video to show you how I did it by purchasing a different radius horizontal rails. I also turned my regular garage door opener into a jackshaft opener. The bigger radius kit cost approx $180. The pulley I bought was expensive but I found some cheaper since then ($30). See the link. PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS NO SAFETY RELEASE FOR THE JACK-SHAFT OPENER AS OF YET. YOU WILL NEED TO INSTALL ONE BEFORE USING THE GARAGE DOOR OPENER. DANGER: SERVICING THE SPRING COULD BE DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL.

Awesome job. I'm looking to do something like this for my low-hanging garage door. If you still don't like the belt flopping around, you could probably find a tighter belt or add another pulley in the middle slightly offset, possibly spring loaded to add tension.

Perfect timing for this , I just put my new to me Challenger lift in my garage and I need to raise the door so I can get my car on the lift and still be able to open the door, my setup uses extensions springs though so I have to do a torsion spring conversion and I'm not sure if my chain drive lift can be used off to the side like you did here with your belt drive lift . Nice heads up though on the top door bracket clearance to the ceiling , currently my interior is unfinished so I need to take into account the finished ceiling in the future.

You can do it without buying the 30” radius. You can cut your 12” radius in half then add a small section from the end of the horizontal piece. Then you can put your torsion bar at any height along the wall. I didn’t show a safety release in the video since I had 3 garage doors. I plan on doing a follow up video of the safety release and solenoid lock.

You could keep the radius however you will need more headroom for the torsion spring bar so you would lose some height. Another option is to cut your radius in half and add a piece of straight from the end of the rail. This would give you 2 -45degree radius’s with a straight in between. You will need room for your springs and pulleys.

@mrgoggles1963 2 жыл бұрын

UPDATE: So…I did the rails rework as mentioned. Here is the new configuration. The track now travels 45 degree for half of the previous 12” radius, then on the straight 26” piece cut from the back end horizontal portion…then the remaining half of the 12” radius sets it to the horizontal piece. I did not relocate the torsion bar, nor did I use different drums or cables, as per your mentioned earlier that nothing needs to be changed. The track and spliced pieces etc are all very solid and the door operates, (manually as I don’t have an opener on it yet) smoothly. The springs are both at 31 quarter winds and the cables adjusted taut. Problem: The door when unlatched springs up and stops at about a foot or so above the ground. Then it has to be lifted the rest of the way, manually of course, but is quite heavy. It does not stay opened on its own and wants close rapidly. It doesn’t crash to the ground and stops at the balance point of about a foot or so above the ground. I have to push it with my foot the rest of the way and engage the latch. So, the new configuration has half the door below the horizontal point and on the 45 degree track. The rest above the last curve point. This means alot of weight is in 45 degree suspension and constantly pulling down. I don’t think adjust the springs tighter is the answer. I may have to purchase a kit as you have and raise the bar/springs/replace drums and cables etc. Your thoughts before I do that?

@fixthemthings 2 жыл бұрын

That doesn’t make sense. Strange. Won’t go all the way down but door is heavy. I would think you would have to tension the spring more due to the heavy door but not going to the ground doesn’t sound right. You should be able to to easily lift the door if the tension is correct. Are you sure it is not catching on the bolts you added? Maybe the door is being squeezed at one point. Not sure with out seeing it.

@mrgoggles1963 2 жыл бұрын

The track is equi-distant at all points when measured across to the other side. There are no obstructions and the track is solidly braced with strut. The carriage head bolts are not in the way and the rollers do have play to protrude or retract if required. The only thing I can think of, is to add a quarter turn or two to each spring and see if the current balance point changes significantly. I will try to send pics shortly, if I can. Thank you for getting back to me.

@mrgoggles1963 2 жыл бұрын

So I adjusted up the springs and the door now stays up. However, it bounces up from closed position even more and as expected. Closing it from 1/4 raised (balance point for the door now) requires more force. So the unequal and non linear forces as the door travels from full closed to full open tell me it may be time for new and heavier springs?

So, I too have a lift, recently, and am concerned the affect of the side mount opener (it is also a Chamberlain whisper drive) will have on the double door. Instead of the center pull, will the end of the torsion rod wind up have the door lifting not level??? I think not, but value your opinion, please.

@@fixthemthings thanks for reply. Yes video update would be great. KZfaq algos might like that also. The garage height is tall. The supports are 40” long I feel like the installers would have had an EASIER job had they just put the horizontal rails as close to ceiling as possible. I feel like because they are so far from the ceiling it was harder to install the long supports to the rails. If that makes sense. Makes the garage so much smaller when door is open. I may tackle it as a diy .. need to confirm minimum clearance from ceiling and if spring would need adjusting. No torsion bars just extension springs but will allow some clearance anyway. Basic doors builder grade from new construction in 2006. No garage opener installed but maybe tackle that at the same time.

I like that idea, avoids having to purchase a $400+ side mount opener. Mine has a chain instead of the cogged belt. I guess I could do the same thing if I could find the right chain sprocket to go where you mounted that pulley you used. But where to find such a sprocket, hmm... Other things come to mind. I would like a safety release, that way if the power goes out there's still a way to open the door by hand. But when raising the door up the length of the chain or belt gets shortened. There may not be enough length to install the link in the chain where the safety release connects before it has to travel around the drive sprocket.

@fixthemthings 3 жыл бұрын

Mine is still working great. The safety release needs to be installed. I was gonna do another video on that later including a solenoid lock feature. You can insert a smaller diameter pipe/cold roll inside the existing pipe and drill a hole through both and use a pull pin to release. You would then mount a pulley or sprocket to the smaller pipe. Also on your door opener your chain can be really short and mount your opener on the wall instead. Look on the chain for the chain size and purchase a sprocket about the same diameter as your drums. You will also need to adjust your limits on your opener for the size of the sprocket.
