More about this in Webster

A garage door won't close when it starts down and then stops or reverses back up, and that's almost never the opener acting up on its own. It's reacting to something — a blocked sensor, a resistance reading, or a door that isn't traveling square — and figuring out which one decides how fast the fix goes. The broader rundown of emergency garage door repair Webster explains how these jobs get priced.

Call (346) 220-4724 for a diagnosis before forcing the door or unplugging the opener.

Why a garage door won't close — check the sensors first

Two small sensors sit low on either side of the track, aimed straight at each other. Anything that breaks that beam — a stray tool, direct sun glare on the lens, dust or a spiderweb — stops the door from finishing its close, or sends it reversing mid-travel. This single cause explains a large share of won't-close calls in Webster before anyone touches anything else on the door.

A door frame that took on water or shifted from saturated ground near the creek during any of those events can be nudged just enough out of square that a garage door won't close problem keeps recurring even after the sensors test clean.
