2. Finding highest point of travel.
• While raising garage door manually, watch
top edge of door to see where it reaches its
16
highest point. This is called "highest point of
travel." Fig. 2-2.
• A locking pliers can be used to hold the
door in position by clamping it onto the rail.
(A stool, chair, table or any object that can
safely support door will also work.)
– With door held partly open (at its "highest
point"), measure distance from top edge
to the floor.
• Remove support and gently lower door.
• Mark "highest point of travel" at centerline
on wall above door. Fig. 2-3.
NOTE: Following step depends on type of door.
