What causes sensor issues in garage doors?

Garage door sensor issues typically stem from several common causes. Misalignment is the most frequent culprit—sensors can shift from vibration, accidental bumps, or settling of your garage structure. Dirty lenses from dust, cobwebs, or debris can block the infrared beam. Wiring problems, including frayed wires, loose connections, or rodent damage, can interrupt the signal. Environmental factors like direct sunlight can interfere with the sensor's infrared beam.

Our technicians thoroughly diagnose the root cause before recommending repairs.
