How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Spring adjustments must be done by trained professionals; do not attempt to adjust torsion springs yourself.
- Observe door behavior: After closing, if the door bounces upward slightly, the springs may be over-tensioned.
- Check force settings: Reduce closing force slightly on the FAAC board and retest.
- Consult a door technician: Have a professional adjust spring tension so the door is properly balanced and does not rebound.
- Recalibrate opener: After spring adjustment, run a full travel and force learning cycle if supported.
Improper spring tension can cause serious injury; always use a qualified technician for spring work.
