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

  1. Keep people and pets away and follow your opener’s specified monthly safety test.
  2. Use the manufacturer’s exact obstruction and sensor test procedure, not a person or body part.
  3. 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.
