Garage Door Will Not Close

When a garage door is not closing or fails to go all the way down, immediate action is required to ensure continued smooth operation and safety. While the reason for your garage door not opening may be as simple as an object blocking the sensors, some cases can be more complicated. That’s where Markham Garage Doors comes into play. We offer expert service and repairs to keep your garage door performing at its best.  

Reasons Why Garage Doors Won’t Close 

A number of reasons could be the cause of your garage door not closing completely. Finding the root cause of this issue is crucial for ensuring it is taken care of correctly and promptly. Some of the most common reasons garage doors won’t close include:

• Misaligned photo eyes: If the garage door is not closing completely or reversing a little, followed by a clicking sound and lights flashing on the garage door opener unit, it may be a sign of misaligned photo eyes. You can fix this issue by adjusting the alignment of the photo eyes. 
• Dirty sensors: Another cause could be dirty lenses on the sensors, which can send the wrong signals to the garage door opener. A wipe-down with a soft cloth often addresses this problem. 
• A damaged garage door cable: Cables are crucial for supporting the weight of a garage door. When they snap, they can prevent the garage door from closing completely. If you suspect this issue, inspect the door for frayed or hanging cables. Then, call our professionals to replace the damaged cable safely and efficiently.
• Worn-out springs: Worn-out or broken springs may not provide the necessary tension to lift the garage door, resulting in it being stuck. It’s best to work with our technicians to replace or repair damaged springs, as this task involves high tension and can be dangerous.
