what to do with garage door rails/track

[Rlefig]

Hi all,

Thanks for all your help with previous questions. I am getting close to finishing my SIM build in my garage, but I am concerned about the garage door rail on my backswing. There is no auto opener in garage but the door does ride on tracks. With my driver swing I am short of rail by a couple of inches, maybe a bit more, but still want to protect driver head from hitting it. I don't want to move mat over to right anymore.

I was thinking of putting a pool noodle on rail when playing, that way if I do hit it its soft.

Thoughts?

Thanks. That's good to know. I'm happy with my off center set up at present (and moving to a jackshaft motor from an overhead motor to make it work wasn't so inexpensive because the door needed a torsion mount). Out of an excess of caution, I'll probably also get a clone driver with a 44" or 43.5" shaft so I don't risk my gamer if there is an accident. The noodle idea isn't bad either as it would add like 30 seconds to set up.

I was able to take off 16" of track. I rehung the back supports and garage springs. The springs were a pain because I originally had them hung off the new moved up back supports but this made the cabling too short, after I adjusted it so the door wood not close all the way as the front of the spring hit the front of garage support. So then I moved the spring back and hung it with lag bolt into roof joist about where it originally was, readjusted cables back to original and good to go.

Still might use a noodle and as suggested above might get a similar used driver to not smash my gamer

I still hit the rails if I am not careful. Not sure what to do

I'm wondering how happened that the driver hits his head while driving. Probably if you adjust the locking system, the situation might get better. Emergency locksmith Highgate can re-install the locks according to your main necessities. However, if the construction of the garage is done improperly, then you can't do anything about it.
