Garage door realignment

[mcdermottc]

Bought a second hand Hormann canopy garage door to replace my old door. The Hormann came prehung on a wooden frame, which I have successfully bolted to the brickwork in garage.

The frame is square to the brickwork, but you can see from the picture, the door doesnt appear to be square inside the frame, resulting it catching on one side when it closes. My question is how do straighten the door inside the frame ?

The frame is "square" to the brickwork but is it - the frame - truly square in itself? You could check by measuring the diagonals of both, and then of the garage door.

thanks for reply. I'm fairly sure the frame is sqaure to brickeork. A spirit level check on all three sides of the frame show it to be square, but the garage door is visually slightly wonky

Then maybe some sort of fillet to hide the gap.

could be an option thanks. I wondered if there was some way to adjust/align the door using the springs above the garage door ?

Maybe but bear in mind realigning one side will realign the whole door and may cause binding elsewhere

very true might be more hassle than it's worth. The door works but just catches slightly, and has the unslightly gap ! I just had it in my head that the door could be easily aligned from the spring

It is one of 3 things.
The door is warped.
The frame is just slightly out.
The hinge attachments have sagged in the the frame.
