How can I get my new Craftsman garage door opener model 139.53985 to close all the way?
We are installing a new Craftsman garage door opener that is almost exactly the same as the one we are replacing. I can't get the door to either open or close all the way. If I can get it open all the way when it closes it stops about 6 inches short. If I move the chain and make it to where it will close all the way it will not open all the way, it is down about 6 inches lower than I would like it to be. It is a Craftsman 1/2 HP 315 MHz model 139.53985.
