Possible Causes

Open limit drifted or lost after power cut, Slipping limit cam or encoder, Obstruction at header or track, Door arm hitting bracket

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before adjusting mechanical stops or brackets.

  • Inspect for obstructions: Check the top of the door, header, and track for any new brackets, insulation, or objects that might stop the door early.
  • Check door arm: Ensure the Garador door arm is not contacting the operator head or ceiling before full open.
  • Reprogram open limit: Follow the Garador manual to adjust or relearn the open limit position. Move the door to the desired fully open point and store the setting.
  • Verify multiple cycles: Run the door several times to confirm it consistently reaches the correct open height.
