Why a garage door won't close — start with the sensors

Two sensors sit a few inches off the floor on either side of the opening, aimed straight at each other. Anything that breaks that beam — a bike leaned against the track, direct sun hitting the lens at the wrong angle, or dust built up over time — stops the door from finishing its close, or sends it right back up mid-travel. That single cause clears more won't-close calls than anything else on the door.
