The reason for this test is to determine whether your door is out of balance or not. If the door is not balanced, as displayed in the video, it will exert an inordinate amount of stress on the opener and will cause your opener to fail over and over again. A common cause of an unbalanced garage door is having the wrong size spring(s) on the door. professionally trained technician will always let you know if this is a potential problem and if it is, diagnose the fix as a part of your free inspection.
