    Garage door
    Any ideas what could be causing my electric garage door stop few inches after I push on the botton to open it. THen I have to keep the botton pushed until door is fully open. Does this mean I need to grease my tracks. Anyone experienced this problem before? What is the solution?

    Does the opener have up and down force adjustment screws?
