Common garage door sensor problems
- Door starts closing and reverses: We inspect the sensor path, alignment, wiring, and door movement.
- Sensor light is blinking or off: A sensor may be misaligned, obstructed, damaged, or have a wiring or power problem.
- Door closes only while holding the wall button: This can indicate a safety-sensor issue that needs inspection.
- Sensor bracket was bumped: We check positioning and secure the sensor when possible.
- Weather-related or intermittent trouble: We look for loose connections, contamination, or other causes of inconsistent operation.
Do not bypass or disable garage door safety sensors. They are designed to help prevent the door from closing on a person, pet, or object.
Alignment, wiring, or replacement?
Not every sensor problem requires new equipment. The issue may be an obstruction, dirty lens, alignment, damaged wire, loose bracket, or failed sensor. We identify the cause first and explain the appropriate repair or replacement option.
What our sensor service includes
- Inspect the symptoms. We check the sensor lights, alignment, wiring, and opener response.
- Correct the fault. We align, secure, repair, or replace components as appropriate.
- Test the safety reversal. We verify relevant closing and reversal functions after service.
