Possible Causes

Worn or damaged Cardale top or side seals, Door not closing squarely into frame, Misadjusted close limit leaving gap, Warped door panels

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep the opener disconnected while adjusting seals or alignment.

  • Inspect seals: Check the top and side weatherstrips for cracks, gaps, or missing sections. Replace with Cardale‑compatible seals if worn.
  • Check door alignment: With the door closed, verify that it sits evenly against the frame all around. Adjust track brackets slightly to bring the door closer to the frame where gaps exist.
  • Adjust close limit: If the door stops slightly open, re‑set the close limit so it seals firmly without excessive force.
  • Address floor or frame issues: If the floor or frame is uneven, consider fitting a larger bottom seal or threshold strip.
