Hi guys, I hope someone here can help me out. We're in a bit of a jam!
Our garage door is jammed. No amount of force seems to be able to move it. I have been able to lift it about 18 inches using our two car jacks, but no further.
I have disconnected the electrical opener, so it is not working against that.
At the top of to door openeing, on the wall is a horizontal bar with two coil springs. At the end of the bar are two pulleys with cable that go to the bottom of the door. I think this is a counter-weighting mechanism to enable easy lifting of the door. The right-hand spring seems broken. The cable on the right is slack, the cable on the left is very tight.
The door is jammed solid, I cannot move it up or down by more than an inch or so. I checked the rollers on the sides and they do not seem jammed. Any ideas on how I can free up to doors? We need our cars!
Thanks!
