Good Morning, the pole building we store our tractors in has (6) 12' wide x 14' high doors. Three of them are located on the back of the building and three of them are located on the front, this allows for a pull through situation. The building is about 8 years old now. Over the last year or so the (3) garage doors on the front of the building get stuck. When you un latch the manual slide latch the doors will not move up. If you push down and jiggle the door on the side opposite of the latch it will sometimes free itself and start going right up. Once the doors have been operated once that day, they go up and down without issue all day long. Once you latch them for the night they will be stuck the next morning. We have been up and down extension ladders many times trying to see the problem but can not come up with anything. We thought they were getting stuck under the header but that is not occurring. We put a spacer under the track where it attaches to the door frame thinking it was jamming but that did not solve anything. The tension on these front doors is a bit strong so that they go up to give the full 14' of opening. There is a slight grade coming into these doors and it allows for proper clearances. Could latching only one side of the door at night be allowing door to bind/rack with the extra tension? Thanks for the input.
