My problem with the garage door opener not closing has continued for

Springs can be adjusted on my unit, when I had trouble, mine would
open later by itself, I called the co that made the opener and they
guided me through motor adjustments for force and travel. As others
said unhook the door and see how it operates by itself, I think the
springs set right should make force fairly equal up and down. When
springs are right then its settings for force and travel.
