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

There's a local angle to a garage door won't close in Lakewood: the area's freezing winters is hard on garage doors — cold snaps brittle springs, and snow & ice jam tracks. Our Lakewood techs see these failures spike around every January cold snap, so they track down the real cause instead of masking the symptom.

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.
