More about this in Bridgeland
A garage door remote won't close the door even though the same button opens it without any trouble, which almost always points to the safety sensors rather than the remote itself. Most openers are built to allow opening even when a sensor is blocked, but they refuse to close under the same condition on purpose.

Call (346) 220-4724 to get the sensors checked before assuming the remote has failed.
