I was getting frustrated after hrs fiddling with the darn thing and about to call a repairman who would've told me who knows. I was fooled because the sensor lights were on. But the light would blink right before it closed and go back up. So after watching your video I kept my eye on the sensors as the door was closing. Sure enough the side rail shaking on the left side caused the sensor rays to disconnect and caused the door to go back up. But you pointed me the right way anyway. I was at my wits end. What a blessing your video was. Thanks.

The trim at the top of my door partially detached from the frame and was catching the door about 80% down then it would go back up. I nailed the trim back into place and that fixed the problem. Thanks for the tips in the video too.

My garage wouldn't open or close without having tondo it manually. As soon as i wiped my finger across the lense (as this video suggests could be a reason) and pressed the button, it closed and opened... I thought it was probaby the chain but it was that the lense had dirt on it... This man knows his stuff!!! Thank you for this video!

Sam is the truth! Thank you for this tips. Just moved to a new house and door was stuck when closing. Just figured that one of the sensors was hanging by a zip tie. Seems like vibration got the tie moving and the sensor was loose pointing to the ground. Got the sensor back in the right position with the zip tie and it is operating back again. I'll take a look to see if why there is no screws holding the sensor, like in the other side, to figure out a better solution to the issue.
