Garage Door WHACKY



Question:
I installed our garage door almost three years ago and it's worked fine until recently. In recent months, it's been acting like the panels are getting out of alignment and it binds up and reverses direction. I need to find the manual to see if there's a sensitivity adjustment. We're about 18'' behind in rainfall this year and we did put piers on the back of the house when we first moved it so it's possibly the house has shifted.

Answer:
I'm glad someone advised the lubrication part. My garage door was doing something similar such as stopping only a few inches closing and opening. I released it from the opener and the door itself moves freely, thus indicating a problem within the closer. I lubed the entire shaft and guide then hooked the door back up. It works perfect again. If the parts aren't lube, the door will stick and stop.
