How to Adjust the Garage Door Wall Button

The wall button on a garage door opener controls when you open or close your garage door. However, if the travel limit adjustment is off, the door might not open or close when you press the button. In order to fix this problem, you have to adjust the travel limit screw inside your garage door opener so that the wall button will work properly.
