WARNING

Before installing the Skylink® garage door closer, ensure your garage door is equipped with an external entrapment protection device, such as an infrared beam sensor which “sees” an object obstructing the door without having actual contact with the object. A Garage door opener does that not have the auto reversing mechanism should be replaced by one that has the auto reversing mechanism feature and the garage door closer must not be installed on garage a door opener without this feature.

Without a properly working safety reversal system, a person could be seriously injured or killed by a closing garage door.
