When a garage door won't close in Columbia, the safety sensors are the usual suspect — but a few other issues can be behind it too. It's almost always fixable the same day.

Why does this keep happening in Columbia? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Freezing winters takes its toll — cold snaps brittle springs, and road salt corrodes hardware — so a garage door won't close is one of the more common calls our Columbia crews run.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your garage door won't close

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

Blocked or misaligned safety sensors
If the photo-eyes don't see each other, the door reverses by design. A bump, cobweb, or dirty lens is often all it takes.
Something in the door's path
A trash can, tool, or even a small object can trip the safety reversal.
A bad limit setting
If the close-limit is off, the opener thinks the door has already closed.
Worn rollers or track damage
Binding in the tracks can stop the door partway and trigger a reversal.
How we fix it

Fixed fast by a local Columbia pro

We realign and test the sensors, check the limits and tracks, and confirm the door closes and seals every time.
