Garage Door Reverses Before Closing

Check the opening first

Remove obvious objects and debris from the doorway and sensor path. Do not defeat the sensor system to make the door close.

Watch where the reversal happens

A reversal immediately after movement can mean something different from a reversal just before the floor. The timing helps narrow the cause.

Mechanical binding can trigger reversal

Tracks, rollers, hinges and door balance can create resistance that the opener interprets as a reason to stop or reverse.
