Our garage door has started doing something weird. About 4 out of 5
times when we close it, it opens again. It will go all the way down,
then open. When we close it the second time it always stays down.

We are not the least bit handy and don't know what we should do. I
hate to call someone in if the fix is fairly simple.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sounds like you need to increase the "down pressure" adjustment just
slightly. If you're not the least bit handy, then look up the instructions
for your particular opener and have someone who is do it.

It depends on what make and model your garage door opener is. Please
provide this information and I am sure some here can assist you. I
found this web site which may help you a bit in the mean time......it
has many models of openers and troubleshooting tips for each.

It depends on the make and model of your garage door opener what the
fix would be.....for example, if it were a Genie , which I
have....once in a while I have to align the laser lights to point at
one another.....these would be located on either side of the door on
the floor.

Force alignment or a open limit adjustment may be needed.

Provide us with your make and model and I am sure that someone here
can help you out.

Take a look here.....this may help a bit.
