Pull the door up about a foot, then release door. It should close slowly on its own. Then lift the door halfway open and release. When you release the door, it should stay in this position. Next, open the garage door completely. Pull the door down about a foot. When you release, the door should go back up slowly to the fully open position.
If the garage door needs adjustment, call a professional to make the adjustments. You may be able to adjust tension springs (there is one above each track) yourself if you still have your owners manual. The door should be fully open during adjustment to release tension in the springs. Check your garage door to make sure it operates smoothly. Oil the bearings and hinges, but not the track. Oiling the track will cause dirt build-up. If roller bearings are worn, replace the rollers. Make sure all fasteners are tight. |
