Pete: How did you fix the kink in the track on your bridge? I wasn't able to post a photo. Thanks. Here is the url: http://www.railimages.com/gallery/view_photo.php?id=abq [ 25. October 2003, 00:26: Message edited by: sapacif ]
Ouch! A garage door? That would definitely alter the situation quickly. Don't think I'd be very happy. Boxcab E50
I think it was a heat problem, since he lives in Albq. NM. His garage door is only inches from that bridge.
Oh. OK. I can understand that. Perhaps if this is the case, investing in an insulated door would be worthy of consideration? Boxcab E50
well i have just the fix being a raynor garage door rep and installer don't know how willing i am to travel to new mexico though!
Hi folks! I'm not often on this Forum, so I happened to catch this by chance. The door itself is well insulated. However, the air gaps around it let super-heated air into that little portion of the garage, so my temperture meter registered about 100 degrees F. I've since eliminated those air gaps. Remember the door faces south, and the air temperture on my driveway immediately outside the door can reach 140 or so easily. The kink was consistent, I think someone else proved, with the coefficent of expansion for nickle-silver rail. I think I mentioned that it had happened to me once before, when my track ran across a south-facing window. The problem was, in the end, fixed when I eliminated the source of heat. While I thought, originally, that the door was the problem, I later discovered it was caused by air gaps around the door. Pete Nolan [ 28. October 2003, 04:56: Message edited by: Pete Nolan ]
Also, once the heat problem was resolved, I just pushed the track down onto a new layer of glue. Pete
