Possible Causes
Close limit set too far, door binding at bottom, weather seal too thick, floor heave or obstruction
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Keep clear of the door path during adjustments.
- Inspect bottom seal and floor: Check for objects, ice, or buildup at the threshold. Ensure the bottom seal is not excessively stiff or folded.
- Adjust close limit: Reduce the down travel slightly so the door stops just as it contacts the floor.
- Check door balance: Ensure the door moves freely and is not springing back up due to tension issues.
- Test multiple cycles: Run the door several times to confirm it stays closed.
