om...

The door worked OK but sometimes the bottom would scrape (seasonal)
and be hard to close and the door also "racked" if you pushed it wrong
(it would "rock" back and forth and cause it to open sort of "jumpy").


Any tips from those of you that have built or used this style of door?

Thanks folks.

Depending in what part of the country you are located, you may be
experiencing frost heave that causes the surface that the bottom roller
contacts to actually raise in the winter and settle back in the spring. We
had a hangar with rolling bypass doors and they were a real pain in the
winter.

If possible, you may want to see if there is a creative way to make the
height of the bottom rollers easily adjustable to compensate for paving
movement. If you live in Florida, nevermind.

Good luck.
