what happens when you lower the garage door?

As long as you mount the screen's attachments on the outer side of the garage frame, you should be okay. The screen's magnets may catch on a metal overhead door and ride up with the automatic door opener, particularly if it is a windy day.

Nothing. The garage door is behind the screen and can go freely up and down -- UNLESS there's a strong wind blowing. A strong wind may cause the magnets that close the screen to be attracted to the door, if it's steel.

I have never had that happen, so I don't know and honestly, I don't ever watch it so I can't answer your question about a safeguard. The chickens can hear it when it goes down because the motor is running, it goes back up and then down again for the night. Mine is on a photo eye and my chickens are always in before it goes down at night. My chickens have a large outdoor run so they are not free-ranging which I suppose could make a difference. Overall I love the door and it is all contained in the wall so the dust doesn't damage it.

There is a setting to reverse the sensor status. Out of the box it said the door was closed when open, etc

Yes it closes the door even if you forget (like I do) it installs next to the wall button for your garage door, the instructions are pretty thorough.

Press down on the the lever that is on the base of the motor. Most likely it will be the closest thing to you. It is different than the latch you press to lower the motor. After this lever is pushed you pull the motor up.

The bottom of garage doors have a gasket that shapes itself into a u shape; either edge fits into a slot and causes it to belly out. It isn't good enough for rain, which flows right under it. When you put this down you get a solid seal against outside weather and everything stays dry. I do have to say that their adhesive gave up after only two years; I cleaned it and put it down with Liquid Nails and silicone; it won't budge, even if you kick it. And adjust the travel in your garage door opener. There's a hole in the side that has arrows to tell you whether you're going lower or coming up higher. Easy adjustment.

If something is blocking the garage door sensor, the door will go back up. The Garage Butler will go through they cycle and attempt to close again after the set delay has elapsed. The garage door sensor and the Garage Butler sensor are two different sensors. I had this in my garage for several years and never experienced an interrupt because of blowing leaves, but I guess anything is possible.

The garage door is normally closed when you install the garage door opener. So when you open the garage door it knows....

No, it doesn't. I think that it's automatically closing makes it a little safer, because it can't be inadvertently left open. If need be, it would be easy to prop it open with a door stop at the bottom

I adjusted mine down to 150 out and 130 in. Don't know if it will go lower.

Once you lower the unit, you would simply pull it open. I don't bother closing mine as it is used so frequently. The string would hang freely at one end. I put a hook on a nearby wall & hook the string there to make it safer as we have young children who might reach up and pull the string. I'm very pleased with this product overall.

The door must be parrell with the floor. You controll the down travel of door with adjustment on door opener. Not sur I understand your question. If your floor is not flat and level then this item will not fix your problem.

yes, you have to reach the ratchet end to lower it. It has a metal tab you lift to release.

No it won't slow down your door unless you have a spring on your door. You could get a commercial door top spring to slow your door down

Yes ... minor adjustment due to garage door not as thick as regular door. Very simple.

It varies. You can choose how much you want to lower it when you install it. Anywhere between 0", 1", or 2". You decide.

If you haven a standard steel door garage you can hear if. If you have an insulated garage door with it closed it is like hearing a compressor running from several houses down. It is a lot quieter then my dewalt compressor.
