When a garage door won't close in Gaithersburg, 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.

In Gaithersburg, the weather is often part of the story behind a garage door won't close. Months of freezing winters mean cold snaps brittle springs and road salt corrodes hardware across Montgomery 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 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
