The force should be set as low as possible to operate the garage door without causing the door to “reverse” on the way down, or shut off on the way up.
Force settings that are set too high can cause damage to the door itself or items it may come in contact with with. Even worse, a garage door opener with the force set too high can cause serious injury if it closes on someone, or a pet.
If you believe the settings are incorrect on your garage door opener and need assistance in the Greater Cincinnati area, give us a ring at (513) 821-5095 and we’d be happy to set it up to operate safely.
When this occurs, it’s normally a hardware issue. Worn out hardware, such as pulleys and rollers, will drag and cause the garage door to run rough. In some cases the door can even be damaged.
By replacing the hardware, the garage door will operate smoothly.
It is also possible that the door is rubbing too tightly on the jambs. In this case, the tracks can usually be adjusted so the door is clear to move up and down.
