I've only had photoelectric safeties on the garage doors for a couple of

That photoelectric stuff wasn't around when I installed the original
openers, so I never really had any experience with it and didn't think
of it at first as being the cause of the door reversing near fully
closed. I know better now.

Everything is in the power head, which includes automatic up/down
force, safety features, etc. They've been around a few years now.
