This product does what it advertises. It works great for fixed distances of 1, 2, or 3 feet, but 2’6″ is out of the question. There are numerous products that do adjustable ranges, but they are not as reliable as this fixed distance product.

Our two-car garage accommodates a compact car, motorcycle, and workbench. With an epoxy finnished floor and chair for the dog to sit in, it’s like an extension to the interior of our house. The car needs to be parked precisely for the automatic door to close, for us to access a closet in front of the car, and for the motorcycle and shop to have their space. This GE product was easy to install, has a nice design, and works. The 1-2-3 foot setting also works for us: at two feet, we can still access the closet in front of the car and the door can close behind it. (But just in case I also laid down a heavy yellow, commercial parking bumper should anyone miss the GE unit’s red warning light.) Works well, nice design.
