Keep Garage Door Open Slightly- How?
When it's hot I see some garage doors open about a foot- I assume to let the heat out. My garage seems to have just 2 positions- Open and Shut. Is there a way to program it to accomplish this? Thanks.

Brand name door opener might help. Mine older MVP which has has control module at house entry. I just let garage door down to height I want to stop and push the stop button on control module as I enter the house from garage. In my hand held controls have 3 position buttons a + and - and O.. can’t remember it the center O button stops the door?

lived in Florida for almost 40 years! Seems like everyone that leaves their garage door open unattended gets some sort of nasty critter take up residence. I would advise against leaving your garage door open!

I would agree, if you want the garage door to remain open, the screens are the way to go.

Some folks have screens built into the bottom sections of their doors. Me? I leave my screened garage window open at the bottom and my garage ceiling pulldown wedged open to get airflow

I was walking the dog last summer past a neighbor's house who leaves his garage door up about a foot. The dog jumped and I saw a big snake coming out of the garage and going around the corner of the house. I told the guy and he wasn't concerned. Still leaves his door up when it's hot. We have the screens so our door is wide open when it's hot.

First thing I thought of also!! I’ve seen several garage doors with a couple of vents added. Not sure if it helps enough but better than leaving the door partially open or get a garage screen!!!

Vents on top or vents on bottom, hot air in or hot air out......hot air rises.

I've seen that and I have one of those big garage screens. SO I tested with & without in summer heat and it was only 3-4 degrees different so I don't use it. Cuz when it's that hot a little is still pretty darn hot and it just makes the house vulnerable to bugs, mice and snakes
