Garage door hard to open/close
 
Fopr [censored] years I have struggled with garage door that
is not "off its trolley" (overhead carrier), but has subsided,
(or the earth has subsided; it's on concrete) such that the
door scrapes along the concrete.

I have been moving it on a pipe, but want to do something
less primitive.

Do they make anything that can be screwed to both sides
of the door and has good-sized wheels to move door more easily?

TIA

If you are talking about a sliding door, there is usually some
adjustment in the rollers, or you could just raise the track, or get
some rollers that do have some adjustment.

Adjust the hangers or shorten the door?

The only "off the shelf" bolt on casters assemblies that I am aware
of ... .... have swivel wheels & spring loaded shafts .... not
exactly the best set up for your application

I bought a set at a big box store that had threaded shafts that were
to be double nutted when the height / angle was proper, and also had
an offset on the adjustment shaft for in out. Best ones I've ever
owned. I don't remember which store they came from, maybe tractor
supply.
