Garage door/CB antenna question

More of a garage door Q...I was leaving for work today when I noticed that my garage door could move further back...it hangs down just a bit when fully opened. Do they all do this or can you adjust to open further back, but would that leave a gap at the bottom then? I am a dumby with garage doors...thanks.

If they're manual doors with a spring - then tend to slide down until the spring balances the weight - you might be able to adjust it a little tighter, I doubt that it would all go away without causing other problems.
Electric doors should be adjustable so that they don't slide.

If you have a Garage door opener, you can adjust it to open the door more. I have ours set to open as far as it can. The door goes higher than the frame.

If I was at home, I would take some pics and show ya how I adjust ours.

It was easy. Just turn the screw on the opener. Maybe I should read the directions! :oops:

Now to see if I can get in with the CB Antenna!!
