Testing The Door Sensor Eyes:
The garage door operator has a safety reverse system attached to help you reverse the door if it comes in contact with an object when closing. We recommend you test it once a month to ensure it works properly.
- With a fully open door, place a 2-inch x 4-inch piece of wood on the ground to touch where the door closes.
- With the keypad or remote, close the door, and when it strikes the lumber, it should stop automatically to reverse.
- If the garage door does not reverse, we recommend you call us and only use the door once the issues are resolved.
