More about this in Alief

A garage door won't close when it starts down, stops, and reverses back up on its own — and that's almost never the opener deciding to malfunction. It's reacting to something it's reading as an obstruction or a resistance problem, and finding which one it is decides how quickly the door gets working again.

Why a garage door won't close square in an older Alief frame

Garage door that will not shut in Alief, TX: testing the door balance

Detached houses make up a little over half of Alief's housing mix, with townhomes and attached units filling out much of the rest, and across that range of building types a garage frame that's shifted even slightly over the decades can stop a door from seating flush at the bottom. A garage door won't close problem that keeps recurring on the same door, with the sensors testing clean every single time, usually points to the frame rather than anything electrical.

Garage door sensor trouble is still the first thing to check

Two small sensors sit a few inches off the garage floor on either side of the track, aimed directly at each other, and anything that interrupts that beam — a stored bike, a box, direct sunlight hitting the lens, or a layer of dust — stops the door from finishing its close or sends it back up mid-travel. This single, simple cause explains a large share of won't-close calls before anyone looks at anything else on the door. Some doors with this problem actually have Alief garage door track replacement help instead.

Flood-era corrosion behind a garage door won't-close call in Alief

Garage door refuses to close fully in Alief, TX: the service tools laid out

An estimated 11,456 homes flooded in Alief during Hurricane Harvey, and with total housing units in the community climbing from 33,067 in 2000 to 37,838 by 2017, there's a wide range of ages and conditions represented in that flood-affected total. Track hardware or bottom brackets that took on water and corroded since can bind a door just enough to trip the opener's resistance sensing before it ever reaches the floor. From Westheimer down to the Fort Bend line, that failure pattern shows up anywhere older track hardware sat in standing water.

Stop pressing the button once the garage door starts reversing

Every extra attempt just runs the door through the same failed cycle and puts more strain on the opener's motor and gears. Leave the door up, check the sensor lenses for anything obvious, and call it in if that doesn't clear it. For a garage door won't close anywhere in Alief, call (346) 220-4724. </content>.
