Default Garage door won't go down smooth

By the way, watch out for rip off garage door repair guys. The ones with
full page ads in the yellow pages promising a $29 repair call. They may be
crooks. One guy said all parts had to be replaced and wanted $600. For
that I could have gotten a new door. I thru him out.

Wayne Dalton stores around me fix all brands and are reliable. They also
make great doors and openers.

Hello,
I have a torsion spring garage door. A few days ago, the door would
not close and would make a grinding noise. I noticed that one of the
rollers was missing at the top of the door. After replacing the
roller, the door rises smoothly, but when it is being let down, I still
hear the grinding noise and there appears to be quite a bit of tension
on the arm that extends from the track to the base of the opener unit.
It does go down, but something is not right.

The door itself is quite heavy, as it's a 2-car garage and the door is
wood.

Does this sound like a track cleaning issue or something simple that I
can adjust on the unit, or does it sound more involved than that?

I can email a short mpg from my digital camera if it would help.

Thanks,
Dave
