Common signs include Door starts to close then immediately reverses, Opener lights flash a specific number of times, Door closes partway then reverses. This is a problem that should be addressed soon — while the reverse function is a safety feature working correctly, an underlying issue may worsen.

Garage door systems involve heavy components under significant mechanical tension. A standard residential garage door weighs between 150 and 400 pounds, and the springs that counterbalance that weight store a tremendous amount of energy. For the safety of you and your family in Milwaukie, please keep these important warnings in mind before attempting any work on your garage door system:

The Portland Metro area's Pacific Northwest climate features mild temperatures, heavy rainfall from October through May, and occasional summer heat waves. This combination of moisture, temperature swings, and seasonal extremes creates specific challenges for garage door systems. Rain and humidity can cause sensor lens fogging — clean sensors before assuming a bigger problem. Understanding these local conditions helps you plan maintenance and catch problems early.

While basic maintenance like lubrication and sensor cleaning can be done by homeowners, many garage door issues require professional service for safety and effectiveness. Call D&L at (503) 704-2654 when you notice any of these situations:
