Why does my garage door stop before it closes fully in Dubai?

A door that stops short, or closes and then reverses, is usually being told to stop. The causes worth checking, in order: something blocking the safety beam or a dusty sensor lens, a closing limit set wrongly on the motor, debris or a bent section in the track, and a worn or broken spring that leaves the door too heavy for the motor.

Wipe both sensor lenses, clear the track and try the remote again. If the door still stops, do not force it down by hand. Send a photo of the door and the motor label on our photo form and we book a site visit. We cover villas, townhouses and workshops across Dubai, see garage door repair in Dubai.
