Leaving for work this morning and the garage door doesn't lower back down. It still works as in the belt moves but its not lowering the door. So is this a youtube video fix or am I staring down a couple of hundos? Nothing like a good ole FU## on the way out the door to work.

Only if lowered manually

when the latch is pulled it disconnects the door from the belt/drivetrain thing. Will also raise manually.

b. there will (should) be 2 sensors near the bottom of each side of the garage door opening. Sometimes they will get bumped causing the door to work improperly

Would explain why the belt moves but the door doesn't. Your roommate probably did it when he was high and was going in there to get more week.

Traditional garage doors are not very inviting or welcoming. I would suggest removing them, since they're going to eventually break and cause you great pain and expense when they door. Replace the garage doors with an attractive set of hippie beads, which is a great way to tell your neighbors that you love and trust them, and that you're one with our wonderful planet.

And it's probably because your diet is too high in meat proteins.
