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

Why does this keep happening in Edison? 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 reverses before closing is one of the more common calls our Edison crews run.

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.
How we fix it

Fixed fast by a local Edison pro

We realign the sensors, fine-tune the force and limit settings, check the tracks, and confirm a clean close.
