When a garage door reverses before closing in Bellevue, the safety sensors or close-force settings are usually to blame. It's a same-day fix in most cases.

Living with Bellevue's constant damp and cold mornings means garage doors work harder here than most people realize. cold mornings stiffen rollers and moisture warps wood & seals both feed straight into a garage door reverses before closing, which is why our King County techs treat the cause, not just the door in front of them.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your garage door reverses before closing

Here's what our local techs check first — and what each one usually means.

Misaligned safety sensors
If the photo-eyes are slightly off, the opener reverses to be safe.
A close-force or limit set too tight
When the force setting is off, the opener senses "resistance" and backs off.
Track binding near the floor
A bent track or worn roller at the bottom can trigger the reversal.
