Garage door wont close

Sooner Exterior Home Services

A door that starts down then reverses is almost always the photo eyes. A door that will not move at all is usually a broken spring or a stripped opener gear.

Both photo-eye lights should be steady, not blinking. Sun angle, a cobweb or a knock will misalign them. If the door is heavy to lift by hand with the release cord pulled, that is a spring problem and the opener should not be used until it is fixed.
