    Garage door won't open
    The door will open, but only if I help it along.. If not it makes a terrible noise, and just sits there . Like it's stripped. But if I unhook the door, the bracket goes up and down, just fine. The weight of the door, seems to be to heavy all of a suden.

    It sounds like the door spring is broken. See this site for some good info.

    Be careful!
