What “Force” Settings Should I Use On My Garage Door Opener?

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.
