Garage Door Safety InspectionDuring the power outage you pulled the red cord and tried to lift the door by hand.
Garage Door Tune-UpTwice this week the door started closing, stopped a metre from the floor and reopened on its own.
Off-Track Garage Door ResetYou tapped the door with the bumper while backing in, barely a nudge, and now the bottom corner has swung inward.
Garage Door Panel ReplacementThe top section has developed a bend where the opener arm pulls on it.
Garage Door Bottom Seal ReplacementOne end of the bottom seal has slipped out of its channel and hangs down like a loose shoelace.
Garage Door Perimeter WeatherstripThe new door went in last year and looks perfect, but the old wooden stop and its tired seal were left in place.
