Why a Garage Door Won't Close
When a garage door refuses to close, safety sensors are the first suspect: photo-eyes mounted six inches off the floor must align and show steady indicator lights. Sun glare, cobwebs, or a kicked bracket are everyday causes in Orange County garages.
Travel limit settings on the opener may be set too short after a previous adjustment — the motor thinks it hit the floor when it has not. Conversely, binding in the track from a bent section or worn roller can trigger force reversal.
Garage Guys realigns sensors, cleans lenses, adjusts limits to manufacturer spec, and fixes mechanical binding when present. We never bypass safety devices — that puts people and property at risk.
If the door closes manually but not with the opener, gear wear or a heavy unbalanced door may be overloading the motor — we check springs as part of every opener call.
