Why the sensors are the first thing worth checking on a garage door that won't close

Block that line of sight — with a stored bin, direct glare, or just accumulated dust — and the door either refuses to finish closing or reverses partway down. That single cause covers most won't-close complaints before anyone even opens the garage door panel itself to look further.

When it's the opener settings, not the door, on a Rosharon garage

Every opener ships with a resistance limit meant to stop the door rather than push through something solid. On some installs that limit sits tighter than it needs to, so ordinary friction from a track that's slightly out of adjustment trips a reversal that has nothing to do with the safety sensors at all, even though it looks the same from the driveway.
