Possible Causes
Down travel set too far, Door hitting raised floor or obstruction, Incorrect force adjustment, Loose door stop bolt
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep feet and objects clear of the door path while adjusting.
Steps to correct:
- Inspect floor area: Check for raised weatherstrip, mats, or objects where the door lands. Remove any obstructions.
- Adjust down travel: On the Motorlift opener, turn the DOWN travel adjustment screw counterclockwise slightly to reduce travel so the door just seals at the floor without excessive pressure.
- Check down force: Reduce the DOWN force setting slightly so the opener does not interpret normal floor contact as an obstruction.
- Test safety reversal: Place a 2x4 board flat under the door and close it. The door should reverse upon contact. Fine-tune adjustments as needed.
