More about this in Hunters Creek Village
A garage door sensor won't close signal shows up as a blinking opener light and a door that reverses the moment it starts down, and it means the two small eyes near the floor aren't seeing a clear beam between them — from a knocked-loose bracket, dirty lens, or a wiring fault.

Call (346) 220-4724 and check whether the opener light is solid or blinking; that alone narrows down the cause.
Why a garage door sensor won't close on the first try
The two sensors have to aim at each other within a fraction of an inch. A bracket that's been bumped by a bike, a stroller, or a car mirror is enough to knock the alignment off, and the opener refuses to finish closing rather than risk closing on an obstruction it can't confirm is gone.
When garage door sensor won't close means wiring, not alignment
If both lenses point at each other and are clean but the door still won't close, the next check is the wiring running down to each sensor along the track. Staples pulled loose by a lawnmower, a nicked wire, or corrosion at the connector can all interrupt the signal the same way a misaligned lens does. Some doors with this problem actually have garage door sensor repair Hunters Creek Village repair instead.
