A garage door that will not close or reverses is usually blocked or misaligned at the safety sensors. Check the sensors and the path first.
- Clean and align the safety sensors.
- Clear the door path.
- Try the wall button and a new remote battery.
- Note whether the door stops at the same point each time.
- Send us the door type, motor brand and a photo.
A garage door that will not close, or closes and then reverses, is most often stopped by its safety system. Check these first.
- Safety sensors. The two small sensors near the floor on either side must face each other and be clean. If one is knocked or dirty the door reverses.
- The path. Look for anything on the floor or a rail that blocks the door.
- The remote and the wall button. If the wall button works and the remote does not, replace the remote battery.
- The same point each time. A door that stops at the same height may have a travel limit that has moved, or a worn spring or roller.
Do not try to adjust the springs yourself: they are under tension. Send us the door type, the motor brand and a photo, and we book a free site visit in Ajman, Sharjah or Dubai and send a written quote. See garage door repair.
