Erect-a-Tube Hangar Door Openers

That is the style we have.

I think a lawyer was involved with that. My hangar door has the same issue. During one of my complaints about it, I was informed that all I needed to do was move a single wire. I have no idea which wire that may be though.

In the movies it is always the Red Wire!!!

I had never heard your story and didn't see the link in your signature. Ordering the book today! Glad to hear that after everything you've gone through, you're still flying.

It's a really good read... And a quick one too.

Not at home, so no picture. But for my hold-to-close button, Velcro loop strip, riveted loop side in to switch case on left, small button sized block of wood screwed into loop side center, hook patch riveted to case on right. Pull and attach from left to right so as to keep close button engaged, already installed limit switch stops the motor.

Finally remembered to snap photos of my setup, in case anyone cares down the road:

Interesting way around it, but if that is an airport owned hangar you may be exposing yourself to liability for modifying their property, and bypassing a safety feature of the door.
