How can I tell if my garage door is not balanced?

If you want to tell if your garage door is balanced, start by disconnecting the opener and manually lifting the door halfway. If the door stays in place, it is properly balanced. If it moves up or down, the door is out of balance. An unbalanced garage door may also show signs of uneven movement, excessive noise, or difficulty opening and closing.
