You may need to call a service perâ€" son to adjust the door; it should be serviced every year anyway. This involves lubrication, checking all the pulleys, cables, and tension on the springs. But the problem may be with the door itself. Disconnect the operator mechanism from the door, and try to open and close the door by hand. If the door binds in any way, this may be the reason for the incomplete operaâ€" tion; the door may bind more in winâ€" ter as the cold affects the metal parts.
