hi todd, i also responded via fb messenger.

i can only tell you some of the things i have had. once in a while, my door will whoosh open part way and stop. along with that is a rush of air coming from the mac valve that controls the air going into the cylinder. if i hit the button again and close the door and then cycle it again i will open normally. in my case, it is the small mac valve on the cylinder.

my coach was initially a race hospitality coach. so the door got used alot. i have rebuilt the cylinder and replaced one of the two microswitches that caused some issues as well. i have also replaced the mac valve (mac is the brand) and some of the fittings and tubing (they are metric btw).

if the door is not making any air noises when it opens part way, it must be electrical.

i buy my parts from bode directly as they tend to be cheaper thann newell and the engineers/tech people there are hlepful as well.

along with richards help, we changed the outside rubber seal on the door itself last year. much more difficult than expected in cuttting all the holes and slots for the latches and locking shims.

my guess is the reason you are not getting many comments is that i suspect most have not worked on the door. they are pretty reliable.

there is also an adjustment on how fast the door opens and closes.

if you do a search on the forum, you will find some of these things.
