Garage Door Opener
My garage door keeps stopping and going back up when it gets about 14" from
the floor. It doesn't do this everytime. Yes, I have cleaned the laser glass and all other things seem to be in order. It's starting to bug me. Thanks in advance for help Don |

It's starting to bug me. Thanks in advance for help Don There are several possible issues. The first on that comes to mind is the door movement. Try disconnecting it, and moving it by hand. It should open and close easily with the tendency to stay fully open, fully closed with no sticky spots between. If the reflector or the lamp are mounted on the track, the track may be twisting as the door moves and that could cause a misalignment. -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |

If your closer has an adjustment for force maybe crank it up a bit to get by the area. |
