Possible Causes

Down limit set too low, Down force set too light, Uneven floor or high weather seal, Binding at bottom section

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not disable safety features. Adjust limits and force within Skylink’s guidelines.

  • Inspect floor and seal: Check for raised concrete, thick weatherstripping, or objects under the door. Remove obstructions and trim excessive seal if necessary.
  • Adjust down limit: Increase the down limit slightly so the door stops just as it compresses the seal against the floor.
  • Adjust down force: Increase down force slightly until the door stays closed but still reverses when it hits a 2x4 laid flat on the floor.
  • Check bottom section: Ensure the bottom panel is not warped or binding in the tracks.
