Put up with a gap at the top seal for a couple of years even though it appeared sealed at the bottom. Living in Maine that meant a cold garage. A few moments watching this, simple and clear - adjusted the down force. Done!!!! Perfect seal all the way around. Thank You!!! Such a help!!!!

Thanks a lot! I had new garage doors installed last spring and with the cold weather this week one suddenly had a 3/8 gap on the bottom. I had no idea how to adjust. After watching your 4 minute video, it took me maybe 2 minutes to grab a screwdriver then find the adjustment screw on the side of the lift and then turn it 1/4 turn counterclockwise. Door then closed perfectly!

This video was very helpful to me. I just replace the pulley on my garage door because it was broken and I was wondering why it broke. I didn't know there was a way to adjust how far the door can go until i saw this video. Thanks for a good video.

Wow thank you so much! I have the opposite problem where the garage drops too low and the system thinks there’s something in the way when it hits the floor so it will automatically go back up. Frustrating and been dealing with it for a few years now. I wish I found this video sooner!

Mine contacts the ground pretty hard but it doesn't cause it to bounce back up. Good seal at the bottom but it lifts up the black bar with a chain on it up a little bit on the inside debating on putting a little less travel down on it

We closed in our carport with a garage door, but rain water from our patio needs to go through the carport. Currently we have a good seal, but I need to leave a crack to keep water from pooling in the carport. Would I be able to do the opposite to fix my issue.

Most likely you have a situation where one of the drums which winds up the cable on each end of the garage door has slipped and now is a little longer/shorter compared to the other side. You will need to take the tension off the springs to make the adjustment. This video does a good job explaining the process. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jRHdDjgu8gA.html

Does you door close without the sensors connected? Without the safety sensors connected or bypassed I wouldn't think the door would close at all let alone adjust the lower travel position.
