Garage Door Only Goes Down A Few Inches

Turn the down adjustment one full turn counterclockwise.

Garage door only goes down a few inches. For most doors a complete rotation of the screw allows the door to advance 2 inches. Try to operate the garage door manually this helps you determine if the problem is related to the door or the motor. Clicking the remote at that point just closes it. This just started a couple weeks ago.

Continue to turn the down. This is almost always the result of a dirty or obstructed safety feature. My garage door will open only a few inches and then stops. My garage door opens about six inches and stops i press the button twice so it will stop going down and then is goes up another 6 inches or so.

If the door is working properly it should be easy to lift by hand. It goes partway down reverses direction and goes back up again.
