Garage Door Won't Close? What Homeowners Should Check
A garage door that opens normally but refuses to close can have several possible causes.
Some are simple. Others require professional service.
Check the doorway
Make sure nothing is physically blocking the door.
Safety sensors
Modern garage door openers commonly use photoelectric safety sensors near the bottom of the opening.
Problems may involve:
- Misalignment
- Dirt on the lenses
- Damaged wiring
- Loose mounting
- Physical damage
- Moisture
Our garage door sensor guide goes through each of these in more detail.
Track and roller problems
A bent track, damaged roller, or obstruction may prevent normal travel.
Opener settings or components
The opener itself may require diagnosis if the door and safety system appear normal. See the opener repair guide or the opener repair service page.
Mechanical problems
Springs, cables, hinges, rollers, tracks, or door balance can also affect operation. The complete garage door repair guide explains how these parts work together.
