About this service

Your garage door sensors act as a safety beam across the bottom of the opening. If the green or amber lights are blinking or the door won't close, the sensors are likely misaligned or blocked by debris. We adjust the brackets so the beams point perfectly at each other again. If the eyes are damaged or the wiring has frayed, we can repair or replace them to restore your safety features. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
