A garage door sensor won't close problem means the door starts down, stops, and reverses back up before it ever reaches the floor. The opener isn't broken in most of these cases — it's refusing to close because one of the two sensors near the bottom of the track thinks something is in the way. Everything here sits under the wider guide to garage door repair Splendora TX.

Why a garage door sensor won't close even when nothing's blocking it

Two small sensors sit low on each side of the door track, aimed at each other so they see a straight beam across the opening. If that beam is broken, misaligned by even a few degrees, or reading dirt or glare as an obstruction, the opener treats it as something in the door's path and refuses to let the door finish closing. The door itself can be in perfect working order and still stop short every single time.
