Why a garage door chain won't close all the way

The chain drive on a garage door opener runs off a sprocket at the motor housing, pulling a trolley along a rail that's bolted to the door itself. When that chain stretches or a sprocket tooth wears down, the trolley can lose its grip partway through the cycle, and the door either stalls a few inches up or comes down slow and uneven before reversing. It's a mechanical problem first, and checking the sensors comes second, not the other way around.
