🚪 Garage Door Won’t Close? It Might Be a Simple Fix! 🔧
If your garage door starts to close but suddenly reverses and goes back up, your safety eyes (photo eye sensors) might be the problem!
These small sensors near the bottom of your garage door tracks are designed to prevent the door from closing when something is in the way.
Before calling for a garage door repair, try these quick tips:
✅ **Check for obstructions:** Leaves, dirt, cobwebs, or even a small object can block the sensors.
✅ **Clean the lenses:** Gently wipe both safety eyes with a soft cloth.
✅ **Check alignment:** Both sensors should be pointing directly at each other. If one gets bumped, it may need a slight adjustment.
✅ **Look at the lights:** On many models, a blinking sensor light indicates an alignment or connection issue.
💡 *Central Oregon Tip: Wind, dust, and falling leaves can interfere with garage door safety sensors, especially this time of year!
If your garage door still won't close, don't force it or bypass the safety sensors. Give *Brokentop Garage Doors a call! We're happy to help get your garage door working safely again.
