Garage Door Won't Close All the Way? Here's Why

If your door reverses just before closing, the issue is almost always sensors, travel limits, or the close-force setting.

Troubleshooting March 30, 2026 4 min read

Three things to check

  • Photo-eye sensors blinking? Re-align them.
  • Travel limit set too short? Adjust the down-limit screw on the opener.
  • Close-force set too low? Bump it up one notch (don't max it out — safety risk).
