Garage door sensor repair in Locust Grove, GA

Why does my garage door go back up when closing?

The two small sensors near the floor send a beam across the opening. If the beam breaks or the sensors can't see each other, the opener reverses the door. That is the auto-reverse doing its job.

• Wipe both lenses. Dust and spider webs are the most common cause.
• Look at the small lights on each sensor. If one blinks or is off, nudge that sensor until the light stays solid.
• Clear anything in the path: a broom, a bin, a bag of mulch.
• Late-day sun shining straight into a sensor can blind it. If the problem only happens in the afternoon, that is likely why.

Still reversing? Then the wiring or a sensor is at fault, and that is the $179 visit.

Never bypass the sensors

Taping sensors together or wiring around them removes the one thing that stops a closing door from landing on a child, a pet or a car. We fix them; we don't bypass them.
