Hey everyone! Welcome back to Door and Dock Solutions you tube channel. Today, I'm going to show you how to install the trolley and support for your garage door opener. Let's get started!

0:11 - 0:30 Overview & Importance

The trolley and support system are crucial for the smooth operation of your garage door opener. The trolley moves along the rail, lifting and lowering the door, while the support ensures everything stays aligned and functions correctly. Proper installation is key to preventing issues down the line.

0:31 - 1:00 Tools & Materials Needed

Before we begin, make sure you have the following tools and materials: a new trolley kit, socket wrench set, pliers, screwdrivers (Phillips and fathead), measuring tape, level, safety gloves, and safety goggles. Always prioritize safety by wearing protective gear.

1:01 - 1:40 Step 1: Removing the Old Trolley and Support

First, disconnect the power to your garage door opener to ensure safety. Using your socket wrench, remove the mounting bolts securing the old trolley to the rail. Carefully slide the old trolley off the rail and set it aside. Next, remove the old support bracket by unscrewing it from the ceiling or wall mount.

Step 1: Remove Old Trolley & Support

Ensure the garage door is fully closed or safely supported while doing this to prevent it from falling.

1:41 - 2:20 Step 2: Installing the New Support Bracket

Now, take your new support bracket and position it at the appropriate height on the ceiling or wall mount. Use a level to ensure it's perfectly horizontal. Mark the screw holes, then drill pilot holes. Secure the bracket firmly using the provided screws and a screwdriver.

Step 2: Install New Support Bracket

A stable support bracket is essential for maintaining the alignment and functionality of your garage door opener.

2:21 - 2:50 Step 3: Assembling and Installing the New Trolley

Next, assemble the new trolley according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once assembled, slide the trolley onto the rail. Ensure it moves smoothly along the entire length of the rail without any resistance.

Step 3: Assemble & Install New Trolley

Attach the trolley securely to the opener arm using the provided hardware. Double-check all connections to make sure everything is tight and secure.
