Garage door that will not shut in Old River-Winfree, TX: aligning the photo eye sensors

A pair of small sensors faces off across the bottom of the track, and the opener refuses to finish closing the instant that line of sight breaks — sun glare, a film of dust, a stray object rolled underneath.

Why a garage door in Old River-Winfree won't seal flush to the slab

Old River-Winfree sits right where Old River, flowing down out of southwestern Liberty County, meets the Trinity — and the Trinity's 2017 Harvey crest near Liberty broke a record that had stood since October 1994. A door that ever sat in that floodwater has had years for rust to build up in its track brackets and rollers, and that kind of corrosion binds a door at the same specific point on the slab every single time, a different pattern entirely from a sensor that misfires at random.

Old River-Winfree hasn't added much new housing since its median build year of 1990, so the town's garage door hardware as a whole is older than what's typical in the faster-growing towns nearby. That tilts the mix of garage door won't close calls toward worn track hardware more than it does toward fresh-install sensor misalignment — though the sensors are still worth a quick look first, since that check costs nothing.
