Door reverses

A Carrabelle garage door that will not stay closed

An opener is built to send the door back up if something is in its way.

  • Safety sensors

    The two small eyes near the floor on each side of the door must see each other. If one is knocked out of line, has a dirty lens or has failed, the door reverses or will not start down. Sensors are lined up again or replaced.

  • Sensor wiring

    A staple through the wire, or a wire pinched along the wall, cuts the signal. The damaged wire is replaced.

  • A catch in the track

    A roller that catches as the door comes down feels like an obstacle to the opener, and it reverses.

  • Force setting

    An opener set to reverse at light resistance turns the door back for no clear reason. The setting is reset for the door.

A door that reverses only some of the time

A door that closes on some tries and turns back on others has a fault that comes and goes. A sensor bracket that shifts when the door shakes, or a wire with a break that opens as the door moves, will pass one run and fail the next. Tell us how often it happens and whether it happens at a certain time of day.

Off track

A door that has left its track

A door comes off its track when a roller pops out of the channel. The door hangs crooked, jams partway or tilts in the opening.

  • A door that can fall

    A door out of track can fall out of the opening, so nobody should stand or park under it.

  • Rollers back in

    The door is lifted back into line and the rollers are set back in the channel.

  • What caused it

    A slack or snapped cable, a worn roller, a loose track bracket, a bump from a car, or a stuck door forced by hand. The failed part is replaced.

The hangers that hold the back of the track

Past the curve, the horizontal track hangs from the ceiling on metal straps or angle. A hanger that has come loose lets the back of the track drop or spread apart, and the rollers can walk out of it as the door opens. Loose hangers are fastened back to the framing and the track is set level and square again.

Track damage

Straightening a track or replacing it

  • A slight bend

    A shallow bend in the channel can be straightened so the rollers run through it cleanly.

  • A kink or crush

    A track that has been kinked or crushed will not hold its shape and is replaced.

  • Out of line but straight

    A track that has moved on its brackets is reset and fastened again.

  • A dent at one spot

    A dent that narrows the channel at one point makes the rollers catch there. The dent is worked out, or that piece of track is replaced.

FAQ

Carrabelle garage door questions

Have another question? Call (850) 819-6031.

Why is one sensor light on and the other off?
The sending sensor lights whenever it has power. The receiving one lights only when it sees the beam. If only the receiving light is out, the beam is blocked or the pair is out of line.
Can sunlight stop the sensors working?
Strong low sun shining straight into the receiving sensor can blind it at certain times of day.
Will a new opener fix a door that keeps reversing?
Only if the fault is in the opener. If the sensors, their wiring or the track are the cause, a new opener reverses the door the same way.
Why did the door reverse after touching the floor?
The down travel limit is set too far, so the opener treats the floor as an obstacle. The limit is reset so the door stops when it meets the floor.
Do sensors need replacing if they were hit?
Not if they still light and can be lined up again. A sensor with a cracked housing, or one that stays dark, is replaced.
