Why Garage Doors Won’t Close
Garage doors stop closing when the opener detects an unsafe condition. Even the smallest sensor misalignment can immediately lock the system out. Common reasons include:
Misaligned Sensors
Even a few millimeters of movement stops the door instantly.
Dirty Sensor Lenses
Dirt, dust, or spider webs break the infrared beam.
Obstructions
Objects or debris in the sensor line prevent closing.
Track Problems
Crooked or bent tracks cause the opener to reverse.
Wiring Issues
Loose or damaged sensor wiring triggers a safety error.
Opener Calibration
Incorrect travel limits tell the opener to reverse the door.
What To Do If Your Garage Door Won’t Close
- Check sensors for blinking or off lights.
- Clean the sensor lenses gently.
- Ensure nothing is blocking the sensors.
- See if the door is crooked or off-track.
- Try the wall button instead of the remote.
- Call a professional if the issue persists.
