If your garage door starts to close but stops halfway—or bounces right back up—you’re not alone. This is one of the most common repair calls we get at Green Home Garage Door and Gate Repair, especially from homeowners in Beverly Hills, Torrance, Palmdale, and Ontario.
Let’s break down the top reasons your garage door won’t close properly—and what to do about it.
1. Dirty or Misaligned Safety Sensors
Garage doors are equipped with photo-eye sensors near the ground on both sides. If they’re blocked by dust, spider webs, or slightly misaligned, the door won’t close. A simple cleaning or realignment might do the trick.
➡️ We handle sensor diagnostics fast in El Monte, Camarillo, and Canoga Park.
2. Track Obstructions or Damage
Something as small as a pebble or dent can prevent smooth operation. If the door gets stuck or reverses suddenly, the track may need realignment.
➡️ We offer same-day track repair throughout Sun Valley and Norwalk.
3. Remote Control or Wall Switch Issues
Dead batteries, signal interference, or faulty wall controls can stop your garage from closing. Our team can quickly identify whether the problem is with your remote or your wiring.
➡️ We’re available across Long Beach, Ontario, and Pomona for opener troubleshooting.
4. Limit Settings Are Off
Your opener has settings that control how far the door travels. If set too high, the door thinks it hit something and reverses. Adjusting the limits can fix the issue in minutes.
➡️ Our technicians in Beverly Hills and Studio City are trained to recalibrate all major opener brands.
5. Broken Torsion Spring or Cable
If the spring or cable is damaged, the door may close unevenly—or not at all. This is a serious safety concern and should only be handled by a professional.
➡️ Call us immediately for emergency service in Palmdale, Torrance, or anywhere in LA.
