The Garage Door Reverses Before or After Closing

If the garage door hits the floor and reverses to open again, check the close limit switch and adjust accordingly. When it reverses before even hitting the floor, a possible cause is another adjustment feature on the opener unit called the “close force adjustment.”
As your garage door gets older, the springs wear out. The result is irregular opening and closing. The solution is to increase the force setting on your opener.
Climb a stepladder to reach the garage door opener and look for the knobs on the rear of the unit. Turn the desired control clockwise slightly to adjust and retest the door. Continue turning, one at a time and in small increments, until the door opens and closes properly and stays in position.
