Adjusting the Travel Limit Screws

The travel limit screws are located on the side of the garage door opener. They are used to limit the travel of the door, so that it does not open or close too far.

To adjust the travel limit screws, you will need a Phillips head screwdriver.

1. Locate the travel limit screws. The travel limit screws are located on the side of the garage door opener. They are usually located near the top of the opener, and they are labeled “Open” and “Close.”
2. Turn the travel limit screws. To adjust the open limit, turn the screw clockwise to increase the travel of the door, or turn it counterclockwise to decrease the travel of the door. To adjust the close limit, turn the screw clockwise to decrease the travel of the door, or turn it counterclockwise to increase the travel of the door.
3. Test the new travel limits. Once you have adjusted the travel limit screws, open and close the garage door to test the new limits. The door should open and close smoothly, and it should not hit the ground or the ceiling.

Testing the New Travel Limits

Once you have adjusted the travel limit screws, you should test the new limits to make sure that the door is operating properly.

To test the new travel limits, open and close the garage door to make sure that it opens and closes smoothly. The door should not hit the ground or the ceiling.

You should also check to make sure that the door is not binding or sticking. If the door is binding or sticking, you may need to adjust the travel limit screws again.

If the door is operating properly, you can close the door and be sure that your Chamberlain garage door is safe and secure.
