A garage door that won't stay closed in Portland is usually a sensor or limit-setting issue telling the opener to reverse. It's typically a quick adjustment.

Why does this keep happening in Portland? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Constant damp and cold mornings takes its toll — damp air rusts springs & cables, and moisture warps wood & seals — so a garage door won't stay closed is one of the more common calls our Portland crews run.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your garage door won't stay closed

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

Close-limit set too high
If the opener thinks the floor is higher than it is, it reverses.
Sensitive or misaligned sensors
Touchy photo-eyes can send the door back up.
A bad logic board
Occasionally the opener's board misreads the door position.
How we fix it

Fixed fast by a local Portland pro

We tune the limits and sensors, test the logic board, and confirm the door stays sealed.
