Why won't my garage door close?
The good news is that it's often something that can be repaired quickly. The not-so-good news is that continuing to force the door to close can sometimes make the problem worse.
There are several reasons your garage door may stop before it reaches the floor or close properly. It could be something as simple as an object blocking the door, dented track, tight hinges, poor bottom seal or just normal wear and tear on the door, opener or springs.
Because your garage door is the largest moving object in your home, openers have safety software features that will prevent it from closing if sensors detect problems with the door. The opener maybe trying to protect itself—or you.
If your garage door isn't working properly, don't ignore it. A door that won't close securely can put unnecessary strain on your garage door opener and cause it to fail or jam the door.
At ProLift Garage Doors, we inspect the entire garage door system—not just the symptom—to find the real cause of the problem. Our experienced technicians can quickly diagnose the issue and recommend the most cost-effective solution, whether it's a simple adjustment or a repair.
Don't wait until you're stuck with a garage door that won't open or close at all.
