We have a rolling gate across our driveway, enclosing the back yard once you drive in. My lovely wife has backed into it on several occasions, being impatient and not waiting for it to fully open. I guess the last time, a weld broke between sections of the track on the ground that the gate rolls on, and may have thrown the stop switch off sync...I re-aligned and fixed the track sections, but the gate rolls closed further than it used to, and the end of the chain bracket is now jamming into the nylon/plastic roller guide in the motor houseing, starting to scar up that roller.
Is there supposed to be some kind of "stop" on the gate chain, or is there a length-of-run-time adjustment on the motor somewhere that I need to correct to make the gate stop at a point 9 or 10 inches shorter than it is doing now?
Once it stopped closed, I have pushed it back to where it should be, but then in the next open/close cycle, it closes too far again, and the end of the chain bracket hits the roller guide again.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave
