The sensors that keep the door safe

The photo-eye sensors near the bottom of your garage door track stop and reverse it if something is in the way — an essential safety feature, especially in homes with kids and pets. When they malfunction, the door often refuses to close, or closes and immediately reverses. In Southwest Florida, dust, moisture, and lawn debris commonly knock the sensors out of alignment or coat the lenses.

Common sensor problems

A blinking opener light, a door that reverses for no reason, or one that will not close at all usually traces back to misaligned, dirty, or failed sensors, or to damaged wiring. These are safety devices, so they should be repaired rather than bypassed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why won't my garage door close all the way?
Often a sensor misalignment, a dirty lens, or an obstruction. We realign and test the sensors during the visit.
My door reverses right before closing — is that the sensors?
Frequently yes, though it can also be a travel-limit setting. We check both.
Can you replace just the sensors?
Yes — we replace failed photo-eye sensors and repair damaged wiring.
Is it safe to bypass the sensors?
No — they prevent the door from closing on people or pets. We fix them rather than disable them.
