I agree. And has the door been checked out during cold weather,
which is apparently the problem? A garage door shouldn't be very
different in opening force in cold weather. It's possible something
is shrinking and binding. What kind of lubricant is on it?

With the opener disconnected, the door should move easily up and down
with one hand. At about the mid-point of travel, it should be just
about balanced so that it will stay there if you let it go.


It has been professionally checked in cold weather operates fine by
hand, but not with the various openers. The door was also
professionally installed. I have tried a tremendous variety of
lubridants, none of which makes any lasting change (longer than 1
day). The rollers are all free-wheeling. None of them is ever
sticking. I have to check to see if thye are the cheap plastic
bushing rollers or good all metal ones. If plastic, I will change
them out.

Checked or not there is some thing wrong with the door, it's
installation or the installation of the openers. Of course it is possible
all those openers were defective, but it is also possible they were all hit
by lightning. You just have not yet found the problem.
