The garage is not secure if the door keeps turning back.
You press close, watch it descend and then see it reverse before the floor. The garage stays open when you need to leave it.
It might be a sensor issue, but the same behavior can appear when the closing path has resistance. Bypassing a control or retrying until it works does not resolve the cause.
Describe exactly when the reversal happens so the team can inspect both the safety system and the moving door.

Answers about garage door repair in Stratford.
Why does my Stratford door go back up near the floor?
The reversal point matters, but it does not prove the sensor is at fault. The door path and opener behavior should also be checked.
Should I bypass the sensor to close the garage?
No. Have the cause assessed with the normal safety system in place rather than bypassing it.
What will the team inspect before suggesting a repair?
A door that turns back near the floor needs more than a remote check. The team reviews sensors, door movement and opener response together.
How will I know whether the repair worked?
Review the estimate, approve the work and test the full close afterward.
Why does the door reverse after starting down?
The point of reversal helps the team investigate sensors, resistance in the closing path and opener behavior. It is not enough to name one faulty part. A bind or obstruction along the path can change how the opener responds.
Why will the door not finish closing?
The sensors, closing path, door movement and opener response can all affect closing. Describe whether the door starts down and where it turns back. A bind or obstruction along the path can change how the opener responds.
Is the opener always responsible when the door stops?
No. The motor can be responding to a door that is heavy, binding or disconnected. The opener and moving door should be assessed together. The motor and controls should be checked with the door attached and moving.
What if the door catches at the same point?
Note the position where it catches and whether it happens in both directions. The track, rollers and door alignment are useful places for the team to check. A bind or obstruction along the path can change how the opener responds.
How is the repair price determined?
The price depends on the fault, parts and work required. Ask for the proposed scope and estimate after the door is assessed, before authorizing the repair. Review the estimate, approve the work and test the full close afterward.
Should I repair the door or replace it?
The decision depends on the door’s condition and the fault. Ask the team to explain the repair path; if replacement is worth considering, request a separate installation estimate. Call to request an installation estimate. A Stratford closing problem deserves diagnosis before that decision.
Stop the repeated reversal.
Tell the team how far the door descends before it turns back.
