Hi Guys, 1st post so here goes: My 'up and over' Garage door seems to be low on one side when you open it fully, it's fine when closed and is'nt difficult to open - it just leans down on one side making it a bit tight when driving in. Seems like it does'nt rise up enough when opening. Any ideas anyone?

There are a few different systems but it sounds as if one of the tensioners may have gone and the other side is doing all the work. Or the cable could have snapped.

Have you given it a visual check ?

This site may help you, they have some technical info that you can download, good instructions and diagrams.

Good luck :)
 
Yeah cable seems to be ok, what's the tensioner? - is it easily fixable? mine has the spring over the top of the door if that narrows it down.
Thanks for the info.
