How to hold a garage door if wont stay up.

There is no problem using with the electric opener. The main reason for this is that the springs aren t holding as they should you will need to have your springs adjusted to give your garage the ability to hold the weight of the door. I have had to resort to disengaging the chain assembly with the lever and have opened the door manually. Having a door which won t stay open or which droops when at the height of its lift can be troublesome.

Slowly close your door about halfway and release it. I can press button on the remote or the switch mounted near the door either way the door opens and closes fully w o any problem thanks for. When i say manually open i mean that i pull the rope to dislodge the electric opener. Hold the garage door and remove the vise grips from the track after the spring tension has been adjusted.

Then i manually push the door up all the way. Ideally the door should slowly float up from this point. Then i let go and the door slides down by about couple of feet. When i push the remote in my vehicle to close the garage door it will close and remain closed for about a second and then it will open up again.

Release your hold on the door and see if it stays up all the way.
