Default One piece tilt up garage door sticking

Hi, I have an old fashioned one piece tilt up garage door. Recently,
it has started sticking and rubbing the wood on the opening on the
left side (if you are facing the outside of the garage looking in)
towards the top. Any advice on something I can adjust (springs?) so
that the door is centered and stops rubbing? Since it has started
doing this it keeps jambing the electric garage door opener. The
springs seem to be in good shape.

This web site shows a good picture of the spring mechanism. The style
of mine is the picture on the right.

Thanks.

They likely worked it out 13 years ago.

Check spring tension and track alignment. The tension springs on the
one piece foor are MUCH safer to work on than the torsion springs
onroll up doors.

Is this related to your earlier mystery post? The answers there are good.
