It was a little design and a little trial and error to make it work. I made a cut in the radius where I thought it would work. Assembled it, and found out the door wouldn't clear handle\frame and the center spring support. So I cut a straight section with a slight angle and prayed that it would get the clearance I needed. I worked and life was good. The reason the cars are so close to the door is that I have a water heater and gas line to it in front of the cars. If I could have them further forward I would have much better clearance between the car and the door. I had a garage door guy out to replace a spring in my double door an he was impressed. An alternate solution would be a roll up door. But my deed restrictions wouldn't allow it.
Very impressive work.
