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

A garage door reverses before closing rarely happens in a vacuum. Evansville's freezing winters wears doors down — summer storms surge openers — and we get a clear run of these calls every January cold snap. A local pro fixes the underlying cause and backs it with a one-year warranty.

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 Evansville pro

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