Hello Mark,

Start by inspecting the garage door springs to ensure they aren’t broken, as a broken spring could shift the door’s weight onto the chain, making it appear loose. Next, check the garage door opener, as a broken gear could also cause the chain to loosen. Also make sure that there aren’t any objects blocking the garage door tracks or path.
