Garage
The best advice I've ever been given about my garage door is this: The opener is only supposed to tell the door if it is supposed to be in the closed position or the open position. It's not supposed to 'lift' the door nor is it supposed to 'push' it down.
Since it's a wooden door you're never going to maintain those bolts tight since the wood will swell when wet, like now when it's raining, and it shrinks when it's hot and being dried out.
I think you're looking at a seasonal tightening of those bolts.
IF the door doesn't stay up by itself if opened half way the spring needs some attention.
