How To Adjust A Garage Door To Close Completely

you see down on the bottom over here you see this little space you have down there that's not good what we need to do is we need to adjust the garage door open it to make the door close all the way down so let's try it one more time and make sure that it works all right okay so it opens up to a good height you can see how it's even with the door itself you see how this is even with the door itself that's a good height but when it closes it doesn't close all the way properly okay you see that little gap right there so we're going to need to adjust the garage door opener itself and the way we're going to do that is let's take a look up here all garage door openers are a little bit different let me bring you up there with me so i can show you what's going on here let's take you off the stand okay now this particular garage door opener now i'm not pushing one brand or another this just happens to be the one that i have right here okay okay this one is the open and closing force how hard it comes down so we're not going to touch that one this is the one here that you can see this is adjusting it as far if you needed to go up higher or to go down a little lower you could adjust it right there with that one but this one is the one that we're talking about right here this one is the one that closes the door all the way down to the bottom you can't put it down too far because if it comes down too far it'll reverse and go back up all right so you can see that little gap see the gap right there okay so the way we're going to do it we're just going to put our remote right up here for now we want it to close down a little bit further so this increases how far down it will go so let's turn it a half a turn and we'll see how that works okay and there you go you can see it actually closes perfectly on the bottom see nice and tight okay now in this particular case the the door itself wasn't closing all the way but you can also have the problem the other way too is that when the door comes down it'll hit the bottom of the the garage floor and it'll reverse and go back up in that case the door is coming down too far and if the door comes down too far you will need to adjust it on the side of the unit itself but this case instead of adjusting it so it comes down lower we're going to adjust it so it stays up slightly higher so this one would increase the the distance that it would travel down where the other one would increase the distance that the door stays up and you would just have to play with the two of them until you get it where it comes down hits the top of the of the um garage door the garage floor without reversing but you need to adjust both of these uh just to get it to the correct um height all right but this job is done and we're on to the next one as always thanks for watching and i'll see you guys on the next one
