When using my remotes, tap the button to start the door up, tap the button at any time stops the door, tap the button again and it closes.
That's how the remote would work for mine also, it's just nice to only have to hit the open and it'll stop at a known height.
My uncle's shop has a single door for 12 bays with 4-6 techs working at any given time so the door gets quite a workout. (shop has A/C and heat so stays closed up almost year round).

The door is set to a height so most cars/trucks can come in/out but saves on wear and tear and keeps from losing all that nice climate controlled air

I did mine that way because I'm lazy lol

And then when you realize you misjudged your timing and need the door a few inches higher to clear your tractor cab you TRIPLE tap the remote.


Pretty certain that’s how mine got worn out.
And that's exactly why I did mine the way i did!

Only time I shorten the cycle is if I'm walking in/out doorway. If equipment is being moved I let it completely open. Even though I'm opening a 12ft tall doorway to drive my pickup thru.

I make enough stupid mistakes without setting myself up for failure with the overhead door... :D

My man door is right next to the overhead door. My only two positions is ALL the way up or 12 inches up for circulation and privacy from my tenants in the maintenance yard.

New addition to the shop since I have a lot of resto stuff I want to work on in the near future.
It'll be replacing one of the slightly smaller red HF cabinets, this one came with a vac/recovery system!

Also order some blades for the new bandsaws and have them both adjusted pretty well, now it's time to clean up the old ones and put them up for sale.20200811_184427.jpeg

That is a decent sized cabinet

I know what you mean about cleaning up and clearing out stuff. I just sold my Clemco sandblast pot to two young guys (brothers) who are into vehicle restorations.

That's a nice blast pot, wouldn't mind something that that one day also.

I currently have 2 IR 5hp 80gal compressors, a Jet 7x14 horizontal bandsaw, a walker turner 16in vertical bandsaw (2spd), and the like new red HF blast cabinet I need to sell and get out of the shop.

Also have to make a scrap run soon, my pile is getting too big for my liking.
