Garage Opener Operator Bracket Tips

The awareness tip today is Operator Bracket. They connect the J-Arm or Hockey Stick of the opener to the garage door. During your inspection pull the emergency release to ensure the garage is detached from the opener, grab a ladder and climb up and inspect the operator bracket. Does it look like the zip screws are pulling out? Do the zip screws tighten (don’t over tighten)? Does it look bent or damaged? Operator Brackets typically fail during extreme stress like a broken spring, something was left under the door, wrong spring, bad rollers, etc… If the Operator Bracket pulls away from the garage, the garage could be midway open as you back your car into it, if your garage has a broken spring or unbalanced door causing, he door to fall down, it can also cause damage to your top section and or stile. If you are constantly having to reattach the operator bracket then I would recommend calling a garage door tech out. There could be other issues causing the Operator Bracket to pull out. Also, it is preventive maintenance and is cheaper than replacing several section and repair to your vehicle.
