Now I can't close the garage door. It gets nearly to the floor - about
15 cms away - and is sticking out a little bit. Have tried pushing it
back up and trying again. Noticed theres a bit of dangly wire on the
left side, and the wire on the right is taught and now theres none on
the "rolly bit" at the top.

Such doors can be very dangerous if you undo the wrong bolt. It's not
a job for the average DIYer.

So how are you supposed to progress from being "average" if you're not
to tackle slightly "above average" jobs?

It's a matter of being aware of dangerous situations. I know of a lady
who unscrewed a bolt on her garage door and injured herself when the
spring unwound suddenly.

As has been said, it's a relatively easy and safe job if you use the
correct replacement parts, tools and follow the instructions.

What DIYers use the correct replacement parts or read the
instructions?
