Default Garage door - stuck open :(

| left side, and the wire on the right is taught and now theres none on
| the "rolly bit" at the top.
|
| Want to get the door closed and locked for security, and can then call
| "an expert" tomorrow unless....
|
| Someone here can give some hint as to how to fix it.
|
| Even if not - some suggestions as to how to close the door would be
| appreciated.
|
| Secondly, what sort of price would I be looking at if I need a new
| door/door mechanism, and how much are the electric rollery type doors
| to get installed?
|
| Advice and anecdotes wanted

Same happened to me last year, it came off the roller and because it got
kinked it needed replacing. Cost me £96 for both sides to be done, they had
special tools to do it with otherwise I'm sure you could lose a finger or
two! They also provided a 3 year guarantee.
