We’ve Got You Covered
A garage door needs to stand up to some pretty extreme elemental stress during its lifetime. From extreme heat and sun exposure to massive amounts of wind and rain, the mechanisms and materials used to construct and secure garage doors need to be tough and built to last if they are going to be a worthwhile investment. Dents from an enthusiastic 15-year-old with a driver’s permit and dings from the neighborhood baseball game add character to a garage, but shouldn’t hinder the functionality of a well-built device.
But even if your garage door is a force to be reckoned with, there is still a chance a mishap will occur from time to time that needs efficient and speedy attention to get your daily routine back on track. If you find yourself in a situation where your garage door won’t close, don’t panic! Speedy Garage Door Repair has you covered.
Why Won’t My Garage Door Close?
Have a door that’s stuck and won’t budge? You might not want to hear this, but there are a lot of reasons why your garage door isn’t closing.
Our team at Speedy is well-versed in garage door repair and maintenance, and we strive to educate our clients so that they can troubleshoot issues on their own and feel more power over minor problems as they arise.
Here’s a list of the common issues that you may be facing if your garage door won’t close:
Sensors
If your door will not shut properly, there is a chance something is wrong with the sensor system in your garage.
Essentially, sensors are installed to ensure safety. Garage doors are large and heavy pieces of machinery that can cause a lot of damage to your property or harm to your loved ones if people are not paying attention. That’s why safety sensors are installed along the track towards the bottom directly across from each other.
If the beam from the sensors is ever broken, the garage door will instantly halt or change direction and open again. This prevents anyone from getting hurt and is an important part of any well-constructed garage system!
But if the sensors get knocked out of alignment or somehow damaged, the garage door may malfunction and not close properly. At Speedy, we are well-equipped to fix this issue in no time.
Limits
The limits of your garage door refer to the distance the door will travel along the tracks before it comes to a resting place in a closed position.
When the limits have been knocked out of whack, your garage door opener will send a signal to the door telling it to close more than it is physically able to. When this occurs, the door will bounce back open again or only close partially. A limit issue is frustrating. But it can easily be corrected by the Speedy team.
Tracks
The primary mechanism that allows a garage door to move smoothly is its system of tracks and rollers. These run along the edge of the garage door.
The tracks become blocked by dirt or debris over time. This can affect the door’s ability to close properly. Additionally, the tracks can sometimes be knocked out of place by a vehicle or other activity that takes place in the garage.
If we determine your garage door isn’t closing because of an issue with tracking, Speedy can work quickly to repair the issues and have everything rolling smoothly again in no time.
