Best Answer

If you have a chain drive garage door, there may be an Up Limit Cam Roller attached to a chain link assembly between the Door Opener unit and the Trolley where the release arm is attached.

Loosen the Up Limit Cam Roller and move it a few chain links away from the Door Opener unit & toward the Trolley assembly. This should allow the garage door to open farther. Move as required to have the garage door fully clear the garage opening.

The Up Limit Cam Roller assembly is what appears to stop the chain travel when it comes in contact with the Idler Sprocket at the Door Opener unit.

I was the one who asked this question, but was able to figure it out after further review of my limited garage door opener instructions. I was having problems with the rear lift gate on my car hitting the garage door. This solved the problem.

Why garage door stops after a few feet you replaced a worn out sproket assembly unit any ideas?

The door opener has stops on it. Remove the chain from the sprocket and run the opener to the door closed position until it stops (unattached to the opening assembly. Then put the chain on with the door opener with the door closed. Put the chain on where it would be with the door in the closed position. Re-hook the chain opening assembly and the door should open. Adjust the open position (small adjustments) using a flat screwdriver in the slots on the side of the garage door opener. Good Luck.
