Break the beam or hit unexpected resistance and the opener treats it as an obstruction, stopping the door and sending it back up rather than risking closing on something. Sorting out which of those two triggered the reversal is most of the diagnosis.

Liverpool's tornado activity runs slightly above the Texas state average for the region, and any wind event strong enough to rattle a garage door in its tracks can leave a sensor bracket bumped out of alignment or a track slightly bent — either one enough to send the door back up every time it tries to close. With close to a fifth of the city's housing units sitting vacant as of the 2020 census, it's also common for a door on a less-used property to have sat unadjusted long enough that the travel limits have simply drifted off over time.
