The garage door is coming down to close and once it gets to the bottom it springs back and opens making the door open thus leaving the garage open.

Caller purchased a metal building from Eagle builders (commercial garage door) that didn't come with a garage opener. He stated that he purchased the garage opener from another company because the door is not made strong enough. The end of the garage door barrel is not made to support the bolt causing the chain to come off, this can cause the door to close on the user causing serious injuries. Caller stated that he contacted the door manufacturer and he was informed that he was informed that someone would contact him. Caller feels that this door presents a safety hazard and should be reported.

Date: April 5, 2021 Time: Approximately 18:15 MDT Location:\[REDACTED] Claimant\[REDACTED] was approaching the underbuilding parking garage entry door when the garage door opened and a Dark Gray/Silver [REDACTED] was exiting. [REDACTED] waved the [REDACTED] to exit so she could enter. [REDACTED] entered the garage while driving her[REDACTED] with a [REDACTED] and made it approximately one-third of the way into the garage when the door closed upon her car. This resulted in breaking the windshield, putting several deep, severe scratches along the roof and severely scratching the sun roof. All need to be repaired. The driver of the [REDACTED] may have pressed the button on their remote to close the door upon exiting as they normally do so this would be a habit. The garage door does not close properly. The required auto-reverse (16 CFR Part 1211) mechanism malfunctioned and continues to malfunction. [REDACTED] tested the functionality of the garage door on April 6, 2021 using the following described steps while opening and closing the garage door using both the direct wired switch for opening and closing and the Home Owner/Condo Owner Association (HOA) provided remote and found the following: 1. Utilizing the remote opener provided by the HOA and pressing the button to open the door, it opened. After remaining in the open position for a short period of time and while no other buttons or switches were activated or pressed the door will start to close on its own. I used my hands to see if I could stop the door from closing once it made contact with me as it should per 16 CFR Part 1211. The door stopped with minimal downward force and immediately opened again as it should. 2. Next test was to use the HOA provided remote opener to test and see if the auto reverse as required by 16 CFR 1211 functions properly when the remote is used to close the door rather than the timer as described above. This test replicates how the remotes are used by those who

We experienced a failed hinge on a pre-fabricated steel vehicle gate. The gate was being installed and had not received any use or force when the rivnuts became dislodged from the post and the gate dropped to the ground on the leading edge. Clearance at this locations was about 2". Had the gate been fully open the clearance would have been more than 18" and would have resulted in complete dislodgement and likely injury and or death. The fastening component of the gates are designed with a rivnut. This product is installed like a rivet and provides a point of attachment via a bolt for the hinges. The rivnut was not designed for this thick of post. Additionally, I was unable to find any engineering calculations for rivnuts.

On 10/10/2022,for the third time,the torsion spring that works as counter balance on the garage door broke without warning locking the garage door in plac

In May 2008, I purchased an installed steel insulated residential garage door for the house I was building from Lowes of Jacksonville, NC. Lowes and the manufacturer, AMARR, contracted with Griffin Garage Doors of Goldsboro, NC. The garage doors were installed in Dec 2008. The manufacturer's installation instructions state "Torsion spring and opener applications require 2" x 6" minimum spring anchor pads". Amarr’s instructions are based on the guidance and standards published by the Door & Access Systems Manufacturers Association, International (DASMA). Griffin Garage Doors, AMARR's chosen installer, attached the center bearing plate of the torsion spring assembly onto a 1"x6" torsion spring pad mounted on a drywall base. While the installer used the correct 5/16" x 1 5/8" lag bolts provided by the manufacturer they effectively only had 3/4" of the lag bolt imbedded into the spring pad. Griffin has stated that they frequently installed torsion spring assembly pads onto 1"x6" anchor pads. On November 20, 2009 while inspecting and opening the door, the lag bolt anchors suddenly failed causing the torsion spring assembly center bearing plate to violently become detached from the anchor pad which struck me in the right hand causing severe physical and permanent damage to my right hand. Physical injuries included a crushing injury coupled by severe lacerations. These injuries required emergency vascular surgery with a 3 day hospital stay. 2 more additional day orthopedic surgeries were required to minimize the degree of permanent disabilities. An independent professional engineer judgment places the cause of the anchor failure on faulty installation practices. Based on statements of Amarr's installer that they frequently have installed garage doors utilizing a 1"x6" anchor pad, it is recommended that AMARR issue a recall, conduct inspections of all installed garage doors, and correct any deficiencies identified. This issue, if not corrected, places th

I purchased an overhead garage door in 2011 manufactured by Garaga. Since the door was installed, 5 (five) of the thermopane windows have imploded, most recently on 12/17/14. The local dealer (North Country Garage Doors, Inc.) has ordered replacement windows to replace the broken ones but they have so far rebuffed my attempts at resolving the real issue which is these windows are DEFECTIVE! Some of the imploded windows were in fact replacements, so the manufacturer is replacing defective windows with more defective windows. Over time, the windows come under vacuum pressure, possibly due to loss (or absorption by the dessicant used) of the inert gas that they are charged with at manufacture. The glass becomes visibly concave as the vacuum pressure increases and eventually they implode, scattering glass shards for several yards. I sent the manufacturer (Garaga) an email on 12/17/14 detailing the problem but got no response.
