Garage Doors Repairs & Installations

On most Liftmaster garage door openers, there are two types of force settings. The first setting that we look at is the up and down force setting. These adjustments are usually set on the side of the garage door opener. normally who ever installed your opener would have set these right and you would never really have to touch these.

These are the up & down settings for how far the door goes down before touching  the floor and how far the door comes up into the header of your garage, before it stops. These, like i said should never really have to be touched. On occasion if these need adjusting then this is a sign that the gear inside is getting warn. Its jumping on the teeth of the gear that is inside of the motor and its time to change the gear out.

Now on to the other settings, the ones that make the door stop and reverse if the door comes down on something. These are a second safety precaution that tie in with your safety sensors at the bottom of your garage door. If something drops into the way of your garage door, that is above the line of sight of your safety sensors. Then these settings are what causes the door to reverse.
