Safety Eye Engaged. Adjustment Required:

Checking the safety eye alignment is included in a One Clear Choice Garage Door and Garage Door Opener Service, however, safety eye adjustment is NEVER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY and does NOT require a Qualified Garage Door Technician to fix. If your safety eye lights are blinking or off, they probably need to be adjusted. You can do this manually without any trouble!

Sensitivity Engaged. “Excessive Force On Close Command.”

The following problems can result in your garage door opener’s sensitivity engaging and keeping your door from closing. ALL of the below conditions require a Qualified Technician in order to insure that repairs are done correctly:

Pressure from an object in the door’s path that binds the door
Pressure from binding caused by failing parts such as end bearing plates and rollers
Pressure from springs that are the wrong size

Your garage door opener is designed to reverse if an object is in the way. When the opener feels pressure due to any type of binding, it will reverse so that it does not create an unsafe condition.

Pressure can come from failing parts. The most common parts that can bind the door are bad rollers, bad end bearing plates, and over-sized springs or kinked springs.

Garage Door Off Track. Cables Off Drum. Rollers out. Immediate Service Required:

In extreme cases, garage doors will come off track. Usually the opener will warn you beforehand by not allowing the door to close. Attempting to close the door manually, especially multiple times, can end up releasing the cables from the drums and the door will fall. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX A DOOR OFF TRACK IF YOU ARE NOT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN. ATTEMPTING TO FIX THE GARAGE DOOR YOURSELF COULD CAUSE MORE DAMAGE TO THE DOOR OR OPENER AS WELL AS RISK YOUR SAFETY.
