How to hold a garage door if wont stay up.

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. Then i let go and the door slides down by about couple of feet. Hold the garage door and remove the vise grips from the track after the spring tension has been adjusted. There can be a few reasons as to why your garage door won t stay closed and by doing some snooping and checking a few parts of the garage door system you ll be able to see what s really going on.

Release your hold on the door and see if it stays up all the way. 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. Slowly close your door about halfway and release it. I have had to resort to disengaging the chain assembly with the lever and have opened the door manually.

Then i manually push the door up all the way. The most common reason as to why a garage door won t stay closed is that the limit settings are off. When i say manually open i mean that i pull the rope to dislodge the electric opener. Ideally the door should slowly float up from this point.

There is no problem using with the electric opener.
