Having problems getting the door to close.....The door starts to close then then it stops like it hit something. i can hold the button on the wall down and i can get it to close. It doesnt seem to have a problem opening the door. i have noticed that once it starts it appears to get some slack in the chain

you can slightly adjust the chain to be tighter with the adjustment screws built into chain See them? solid bullet like links with adjustment screw built in
