Garage Door Opens Then Closes

Unexpected reversing or cycling can come from opener settings, sensors, controls or mechanical resistance. Observe exactly where in the travel the behavior occurs.

Note when it reverses

A reversal near the floor can suggest a close-travel or resistance issue, while inconsistent response can point toward controls, sensors or intermittent opener behavior.

Inspect without adjusting tension

Look for obstructions and obvious track problems, but leave spring tension, cable hardware and force adjustments to a qualified service professional.

A system-level diagnosis helps

The opener and door interact. A technician should check both rather than assuming the motor assembly is always the problem.
