Does garage door opener must do auto-reverse when it rolls down?

My house buyer inspector checked my house garage door opener, and said that my garage door opener does not auto-reverse when some object (like hands) try to block at the bottom of the garage door when it rools down, but not interfering the laser beam !!

My garage door opener does reverse when laser beam detects anything when door goes down, but does not reverse when object are not in the middle of the laser sensors. Is this violating the building code ? Is this supposed to cause concerns of hosue inspection ? It is GENIE opener and do not know the model number, what can I do to make it reversable when object blocks, but not in between the laser sensor ?

Answer:

You need to reduce the downward force setting. Refer to your instruction manual. There are two dials on the panel, near where the wires go into the machine. Turn them a little, then test the door. You should be able to stop it with your hands, and make it reverse.
IT’s not violating the building code, but it’s something the buyers can use against you.
