  1. Garage Doors Keep Reversing? Try Out These Solutions! In most cases, you don’t have to worry if your garage door keeps reversing. It’s a common problem that occurs due to mostly simple reasons. In most cases, you can solve the problem yourself. Dirt covering proximity sensors or something blocking them are the most common reasons why your door reverses. You can clear the area to fix the issue. Another common reason your door reverses is some faulty settings in your garage opener. You can refer to the manual you get during the ​garage door opener installation in Parker to fix the settings. There are some cases where you may need a professional, like if the springs are damaged.

  2. Tips To Fix Reversing Garage Doors Clean Proximity Sensors Proximity sensors are your door’s safety mechanism that prevents it from shutting when someone or something gets close. If something blocks the detectors, then the entrance will not shut down until whatever is blocking it moves. You can fix the problem by cleaning the sensors. Locate the sensors on both sides of the entrance and clean their lenses with a soft clean cloth. Clear the floor below the panels off any debris, leaves, etc. that may block the sensors. Now, try closing the garage door. Adjust Closing Force The garage opener controls the pressure at which the panels can descend to the floor. A faulty setting or friction with the rollers might cause the opener to reverse the panels before they touch the floor. You should adjust the opener’s settings to fix the problem. You can refer to the manual you get during garage door opener installation in Parker to know how to do it. You can turn the closing-force knob on the opener to see which setting closes the entrance completely without causing it to reverse. Try different settings until you get the result. Adjust Close-Limit Sometimes, the problem is with the close-limit setting. This setting tells the door when to stop moving so that it doesn’t crush anyone under it. If the settings are faulty, then the door may open after touching the ground. You should adjust the close-limit switch on the opener slowly until the panels stop reversing after reaching the ground. Check Spring If your garage door’s spring is broken, then it may cause the panels to apply its complete weight on the opener arms. This causes the entrance to reverse when you try to close it. Inspect the torsion spring for signs of damage. Do not try to fix or replace it yourself. A torsion spring contains a huge amount of pressure that can maim or kill you if it comes loose. Call professionals for ​garage door spring repair in Denver Metro​ for safety. Lubricate Rollers If your door’s rollers are old and rusty, then it may apply extra pressure on the panels and cause them to reverse. You should check the rollers to make sure that they are fine and lubricate them so that they function properly. You may need to replace the rollers if they are damaged. Cover Sensors In Shade

  3. It’s common for the sunlight to enter the sensor and cause the opener to malfunction. The problem solves itself after a few minutes. It may also occur if the light from an artificial source enters the sensors. You can stand in front of the light source such that your shadow covers the sensors when you close the door. Call Repair Service If you can’t figure out what’s wrong with your entrance, then you should call a professional repair service to fix it. Check the garage door’s warranty to save on repair costs. The warranty may become void if you call an unauthorized company, so read the terms and conditions carefully.
