Local knowledge
For a Branford garage with sticking or corrosion, note whether the symptom changes with weather, which side is affected, and whether the door appears level. An inspection can distinguish door hardware from surrounding-frame clearance and seal contact. Rust on a cable or bottom fixture needs a different response from a mark on the panel; do not loosen loaded hardware to inspect it.
