More about this in Arcola

A garage door won't close for a reason, even when that reason isn't obvious from the driveway — the door starts down, then stalls or climbs back up, and something specific is triggering that reversal every time. Sorting out whether it's a sensor, a resistance reading, or a frame that's shifted out of square is what actually gets it fixed. There is a wider write-up on garage door technician Arcola that covers the other faults too.
