More about this in Brookshire

A garage door reversing partway through closing is the opener's safety system doing exactly what it's built to do — reading resistance or a broken sensor beam and sending the door back up rather than risk closing on something. The question is what it's actually reacting to. The broader rundown of garage door company Brookshire explains how these jobs get priced.

What garage door reversing is actually reacting to

A door that reverses at the same point every time is usually hitting physical resistance there — a bind in the track, or a balance issue from a cable or spring. A door that reverses randomly is more often a sensor picking up glare, an obstruction, or a beam alignment that's drifted. Garage door reversing gets sorted into one of those two patterns before anything gets adjusted.
