Test garage-door auto-reverse
Keep people and pets away and follow your opener’s specified monthly safety test.
Why it matters
A working reversing system helps protect people from a closing door.
Steps
- Keep people and pets away and follow your opener’s specified monthly safety test.
- Use the manufacturer’s exact obstruction and sensor test procedure, not a person or body part.
- If a test fails, stop using the opener and call a trained door technician. Do not adjust springs or cables.
How often should I test garage-door auto-reverse?
Monthly is the planning default. Follow your equipment instructions and act sooner on a fault.
