Get yourself a spray can of silicon lubricant and spray all the rollers and
tracks. If it is a worm-gear type (rather than a chain drive), spray a
little on the gear. See if that helps.
This time of year when the weather turns cooler, the things start to bind,
especially when they have been lubricated with a grease that hardens when it
gets cold.

Subject: [TR] very off topic
anyone know anything about garage door openers?
mine works some of the time.
the rest of the time it opens maybe 6 inches and stops. hit it again then
it
closes. if I pull the release I can open the door no problem. not an
urgent
issue because I only keep LBCbs in there.
does it just need grease or something? or should I replace it? doesnbt
seem worthwhile to pay somebody to do that when supposedly Ibm a mechanic
<grin>
