You or someone else needs to tighten the springs. There are either
two long coil springs connected by cables to the bottom of the door or
there is a torsion spring at the front which needs tightening.

If the former, you need to tighten both symmetrically. Try shortening
the cables by about 2 - 4 inches each. If the second, this is
probably too dangerous for you to do - call a pro.
