garage door tension rod is shifting

[Trav]

My garage door tension rod is shifting on the way up, causing the cable
drum to ride against the carriage bolt head when the door gets about 3/4
of the way open.

Thanks for sharing. Danny D. is our resident DIY expert. He knows
stuff and may chime in.

Oh, the rod will shift and torque.

Show us a photo of the binding on the bolt head. How many springs are
on the door?

Danny, come in ... <g>

Hi Oren,
I was going to skip this because I don't see any photos,
nor a good description with measurements, so, as you surmised,
there's just not enough information to go on.

To the OP:
Look at this thread, and snap similar photos so we can "see"
what you're talking about. I can "guess" what the problem is
(as I had a problem with my anchor plates moving that I resolved)
but a lot depends on your setup. ( http://tinyurl.com/k7z6b64 )

Hi Oren,
I've seen our NNTP posts get placed on forums (i.e., nntp-to-forum); but
not the other way around (which this one seems to be).

Do *any* of these forum-to-nntp posters ever respond back?

Sometimes, but rarely. The Home Groaners Hub web base is ported to
NNTP. The site makes ad money from what we write in NNTP Usenet.

Many of the users cannot OR WILL not reply back in the original
massage thread. Look at the 'telephone pole thread'. The OP started
an entirely new message that could have been in the first thread about
the concerns. Many will post without using at least some quotation of
whom they reply to.

Even when you try to help, you never get a response back so DIY
solutions can be discussed. Same with some Google users.

AND the sig lines are spamming this group.

Spit!

I figured as much.

The guy just died, despite your attempts to help him.

I'm just going to ignore all of those posts, until/unless someone
proves themselves.

Thanks for caring!

Some folks are just introverts, shy or just plain bashful. A couple of
the alpha- males here will kill file you. The ones that are less
tolerant of folks that push back with another view. At times they lack
humor in a reply to them.

I takes no beans off my plate.

I've made a filter for the Moaners Hub posts.
Just see the replies.
