Sometimes, a loose wire or a power surge can also affect their performance. Regular cleaning and checking for obstructions can prevent many issues. For more complex problems, licensed pros can diagnose and fix them.

Garage door sensors are safety devices installed on most modern garage door openers. They emit an invisible beam of light across the garage door opening. If this beam is interrupted while the door is closing, the opener will reverse the door's motion, preventing it from closing on an object or person. These sensors are crucial for safe operation and typically require proper alignment and cleanliness to function correctly. We can help ensure yours are working properly.
