There is a lot to be said for someone wanting to do things themselves. I like to do that myself, sometimes. We had a problem with one of ours and I finally called RoMac and had the technician come and adjust our doors. As it turned out, the doors were installed with the top panel too close to the second panel. If you look at the track, there is a little bump in it just after the curve at the top of the front part. The top panel is supposed to be about 1/8 to 1/4 inch above the second panel. This keeps them from binding when the upper panel goes over that bump. The technician told me that the majority of the doors that he sees are installed imporperly. I think our money was well spent.
