I have a shed that has a roller door on it, with an automatic opener. It is much closer to one side than the other, so much so that it is quite uneven and noisy as it goes up and down. One side will not go down at all, until finally it goes with a quick slide down to match the other side, and a rumble. Eventually to will open/close all the way though. The side rails can be moved in-out a bit so I have moved out the side that catches a few times. Each time it is nice and smooth and quiet for a bit (and I can see a few mm gap between the door and rail) and then it starts all over again. I am sure that the door must be not bolted down quite properly (there is just a u-bolt on each end of the central axle) and it must be shifting. I am thinking of moving the whole door sideways a bit and then tightening down the u-bolts. What is the easiest way to achieve that without throwing out the opener settings too much. I imagine the door is going to be heavy. Do I loosen the bolts off and then try and lever it? Any ideas? Thanks
