The winter months can cause all sorts of issues with your Garage Door.

Snow or ice in front of the sensor or the sensors being misaligned is a common occurance however if your door struggles to open all the way there are a couple of scenerios that may be causing this to happen. In a non heated garage the lubricant on the chain or screw drive could be gelling up requiring more tension from the motor. The wood work (trim) around the door tracks could be contracting in the cold and putting undue pressure on the wheels and hinges making the door seem heavier to the motor. On the side of your Electric Garage Door Opener there is a sensitivity adjustment screw. You can adjust the pull or push by these knobs. Turn it 1/4 at a time and test your door.
