Garage Door Only Closes Halfway

Quite often the cause of your door s malfunction is an improperly set garage door limit.

Garage door only closes halfway.

If your garage door opens and suddenly stops it might be because of your logic board. Manually lift the door by hand. It goes partway down reverses direction and goes back up again. You might need to consider replacing it if your door is not working properly or you may purchase a new opener.

This is almost always the result of a dirty or obstructed safety feature. Close the door completely. The logic board receives and responds signals to any remote. If the door opens without a hitch the fault lies with the automatic opener but if you can only open the door halfway the problem is the door itself.

Your automatic garage door comes with a limit setting that limits the amount of force it is allowed to exert in either opening or closing. If this setting is improper it can cause your door to stop midway thinking its job is done. A garage door that only opens halfway becomes a nuisance for many reasons. You push the button to close the garage door.

Pull the emergency release cord to disengage the opener trolley from the door.
