Adjusting your garage door

Repairing garage rollers
Your garage door rollers are what allows your door to move up and down on its track. They can often break or seize up. First, try to lubricate them or replace them should it be deemed necessary. Replacing them is not as hard as it seems, and the rollers are less than $5 to buy. It should take you no more than 10 minutes to do this.
Repairing door hinges
The garage door hinges allow the door panels to move independently from one another. On each side of the door, they come with a sleeve which houses the rollers in them. Hinges, however, have been known to either rust, break or seize up. This is another inexpensive and easy repair.
