Why did my garage door come off track?
Sensor misalignment, blocked sensors, or wiring issues are common causes. Check for obstructions and ensure both sensor lights are on and steady.
Can I bypass the safety sensors?
Safety sensors should not be bypassed. They are an important safety feature designed to prevent accidents and injuries.
Why do my sensors keep going out of alignment?
Loose brackets, vibrations, accidental bumps, or damaged hardware can cause sensors to lose alignment over time.
Do you work on all sensor brands?
Yes, we service and replace sensors for most major garage door and opener brands.
