Questions from Thorne customers

Can I do anything between services?

Yes. Test the auto-reverse with a soft object monthly, keep the tracks clean and dry, and watch for frayed cables. Leave springs and cables to engineers.

Do I need to service an electric garage door?

It is strongly recommended. Safety devices drift and wear, and only testing shows whether they still work.
