Why a garage door opener won't close on the first try

Two sensors sit low on either side of the track, aimed at each other to form an invisible beam across the doorway. Anything that breaks that beam — a bag of feed, a shadow, dust or a bit of spiderweb on the lens — tells the opener something's in the way, and it stops the door or sends it back up rather than risk closing on an obstruction. That single check clears up a large share of these calls before anyone looks at anything else.
