Thanks for your comment. It feels like it’s moving fine. But maybe I need to grease up the wheels. Anyways, this made me think that it was working a little harder, so I maxed the force it uses when closing and that worked! Doesn’t fully address the issue but that is a quick fix for now so I can at least lock my garage. I will keep looking for where it’s getting caught up. Thanks again

The gears/limit switches in a Chamberlain/Craftsman/LiftMaster opener are easily replaced and a common thing to go out.

Good call on the force adjustment - but it should be adjusted so that it reverses on a 2x4 laid flat but enough to open/close the door. Also, lube the rail, a tiny bit grease on the bottom of the T-rail(LiftMaster) or dry spray lube on the square tail(Chamberlain and Craftsman) works fine.
