Garage Door Sensor Problems
Safety sensors can prevent a garage door from closing when they are blocked, misaligned, dirty, damaged or affected by wiring problems. Do not bypass safety functions to force the door closed.
Possible Causes
Garage door symptoms can come from mechanical parts, opener components, controls, sensors, alignment or power. Similar symptoms can have different causes, so avoid assuming one part is definitely at fault without an inspection.
Simple Checks You Can Make
Check for obvious obstructions, confirm the opener has power, and look for visible damage from a safe distance. Do not loosen springs, lift cables, bottom brackets or other high-tension hardware.
When Professional Help Makes Sense
Call for service when the door is too heavy to move normally, hangs unevenly, comes off track, cannot secure the garage, or when a spring, cable or other structural component appears damaged.
