Mines been doing the same for 10 years.. also mine always falls off track. There should be a rope hangin down, when the hindged peace that cunnects the door to the motorized chain. you should be able to pull that rope, and pop the pin, witch then alows you to manualy close the door.. Close the door, then whil you have some wight on it, hit the button, and then it should close all the way, and lock. It works for mine. hope this helps.
but the reason its doing that, is the spring sensor, so if somthing is there.. you can move it, or it wont get to damaged. but most garages get scrwed up like that.
