A garage door that won't stay closed in Columbia is usually a sensor or limit-setting issue telling the opener to reverse. It's typically a quick adjustment.

In Columbia, the weather is often part of the story behind a garage door won't stay closed. Months of freezing winters mean cold snaps brittle springs and road salt corrodes hardware across Howard County — exactly the kind of wear a local tech knows to check first.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your garage door won't stay closed

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

Close-limit set too high
If the opener thinks the floor is higher than it is, it reverses.
Sensitive or misaligned sensors
Touchy photo-eyes can send the door back up.
A bad logic board
Occasionally the opener's board misreads the door position.
How we fix it

Fixed fast by a local Columbia pro

We tune the limits and sensors, test the logic board, and confirm the door stays sealed.
