So, got home last night, and went to pull into back into the driveway-- and it's full. Hit the garage door opener, and the door moved up about 2" and stopped. Asked Wifey-poo to give me a hand with it, but when I looked up, the two main springs were broke.
Earlier this summer, during the July heat wave, we were having some minor trouble with the door sticking about 2' up, but if you held the button on the remote down, or gave it a manual assist, it would open. Thought at the time that, due to a miscalculation by the wife on how much the garage door was open in relation to her backing out, and thus putting a bend in the bottom panel, that it was probably a combo of that minor damage and the heat expanding the door. My bet now is that one of the springs was broken at that juncture -- never occurred to me at the time.
I'm now wating on a return call from the overhead door company I called to get back to me on a fixit schedule.
