Garage Door Won’t Close: 7 Things to Check
A door that will not close may have a simple sensor or control issue, but it can also be obstructed, misaligned or mechanically unsafe. Start with checks that do not involve tensioned parts.
Check the opening
Remove objects from the floor and tracks. Look for damaged rollers, bent track or a door that is no longer level.
Check the photo-eyes
Clean the lenses gently, confirm they face each other and look for a blinking indicator. Do not bypass a safety sensor as a permanent fix.
Check controls and power
Try the wall control, confirm power and inspect remote batteries. A locked wall console can disable remotes on some models.
Know when to stop
Stop if the door is crooked, off track, supported by a loose cable or reverses after striking an object.
