Common Reasons Your Garage Door Won’t Close

Faulty Torsion Spring

The torsion spring plays a vital role in balancing the weight of your garage door, facilitating smooth opening and closing. If the spring breaks or becomes worn, it can disrupt the door's closing function. In such cases, the door may feel unusually heavy to close manually, or your automatic opener might struggle to lower it. Replacing a faulty torsion spring requires the expertise of a professional due to the high tension involved.

Obstructed or Misaligned Sensors

Modern garage door openers are equipped with safety sensors positioned near the door tracks to detect obstacles in the closing path. If these sensors are blocked by debris or misaligned, they may prevent the door from closing properly to avoid accidents. Cleaning any obstructions and realigning the sensors can often resolve this issue and restore smooth closing functionality.

Malfunctioning Garage Door Opener

Like any mechanical device, garage door openers are susceptible to wear and tear over time. Mechanical or electrical failures can disrupt their operation, leading to issues with closing the door. Signs of a faulty opener include unusual noises during operation, a running motor without door movement, or inconsistent closing performance. Professional repair or replacement may be necessary to restore proper functionality.

Disconnected or Damaged Cables

The cables attached to the garage door springs are essential for its smooth operation. If these cables become disconnected or damaged, they can prevent the door from closing properly. Operating the door in this condition can pose safety risks and cause further damage. Professional inspection and repair of the cables are crucial to ensure safe and efficient operation of your garage door.
