Guardian Mid-Travel Obstruction or Door Section Damage

Guardian opener stops and reverses when door is about halfway closed, no visible obstruction.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Bent door section, Loose hinge causing panel to bind, Track pinch point, Roller leaving track at mid-height

Safety first: Disconnect power and release the door before inspecting. Support the door if working with it partially open.

Inspect door panels: Look for a bent or cracked section, especially where the opener arm attaches.
Check hinges: Tighten all hinge screws and replace any cracked hinges.
Watch rollers: Manually move the door and watch each roller as it passes through the curved track. Ensure none are jumping out or binding.
Correct track alignment: Adjust track brackets to eliminate pinch points or rubbing at the mid-travel area.
