Why Won’t My Garage Door Close?

These are some of the top reasons garage doors won’t close (or will only close part way).

Dirty or malfunctioning garage door sensors – these may cause your garage door to close part way, and then reverse. A dirty sensor can be cleaned, but a faulty one will need to be repaired or replaced and calibrated by a professional tech.

Bent broken tracks or garage door rollers can obstruct the door’s pathway and can prevent it from moving smoothly.

Garage door springs and cables typically last around 10,000-20,000 cycles before snapping. Once they’ve broken, the garage door likely won’t be able to move at all. These components can break when the door is open or closed.

A malfunctioning garage door opener may need to be repaired or replaced if it’s unable to open and close the door smoothly.

Homeowners should never attempt to use the emergency release cord while the garage door is open. If it won’t close due to a broken spring or cable, it will likely crash down and cause harm to you or your property. It’s best to call Precision right away if the garage door won’t close.
