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.
