What most often sends overhead and coiling doors work back
- Header short on clearance for the drum and springs, discovered when the coil won't fit above the opening.
- Operator and spring backing left out because the wall was closed before the door package arrived on site.
- Power for a motorized operator stubbed to the wrong side of the opening, forcing a surface conduit run later.
- Door balance never checked by hand because the powered operator masks a spring that is over- or under-wound.
- Photo-eyes mounted high enough that a low obstruction passes under the beam without reversing the door.
- Fire door drop test skipped or done without resetting the release, so the door is left disarmed after the test.
- A dented slat or section that binds in the guide is adjusted loose instead of replaced, so the door drags again once tension settles.
- Bottom seal replaced but the door not re-balanced, so it slams the last few inches of travel.
