A garage door won't close when it starts down and then stops or reverses back up, and that's almost never the opener itself acting up on its own. It's reacting to something — a blocked sensor, a resistance reading, or a door that isn't traveling square in its tracks — and figuring out which one decides how fast the fix goes.

Why a garage door won't close — check the sensors first

Two small sensors sit a few inches off the garage floor, one on each side of the track, aimed straight at each other. Anything that breaks that beam — a stray toy, direct sun glare, dust or a spiderweb on the lens — stops the opener from letting the door finish closing, or sends it reversing mid-travel. This single cause explains a large share of won't-close calls in Fulshear before anyone touches anything else on the door.
