Another reason that your garage door won t open all the way in cold weather is probably that the metal has contracted.
If the garage door still only opens halfway the problem is with the door.
If the door opens smoothly by hand the problem is with the opener.
In a typical situation the motor for your garage door opener should stop running once the door has closed.
