  • Why won't my garage door close with the opener?

    When your garage door refuses to close using the opener, the issue typically stems from malfunctioning safety sensors.

Katy Overhead Doors suggests first verifying that both sensors are clean, properly aligned, and unobstructed. Should the problem continue, our technicians are available to diagnose the issue and complete the necessary repairs to restore safe operation.
