Are your garage door sensors blinking or misaligned? Do they fail to detect objects blocking the door? Malfunctioning safety sensors disrupt normal operation and indicate a serious safety issue.
The good news is the licensed technicians at CO Garage Door Repair Commerce City can expertly realign your sensors or replace any worn parts to get them working flawlessly again. We have the diagnostic skills, tools, and factory-authorized components to get your safety sensors back up to code affordably.
Warning Signs Your Garage Door Sensors Need Servicing
The infrared beam sensors mounted on each side of your garage door play an integral safety role. Over time, typical wear and tear can cause:
- Misaligned sensors where beams no longer align and communicate
- Blinking LED indicator lights signalling an alert
- Sensors blocked by dust, dirt, and debris
- Damaged lenses, wires, or connections preventing beam transmission
- Limited range requiring being very close to trigger the sensors
These issues lead to doors failing to open or close, plus pose major safety hazards. Don’t ignore sensor problems before calling for professional service and repairs.
Dangers of Faulty Garage Door Sensors
Allowing malfunctioning sensors to go unchecked without repair poses serious risks including:
- Doors failing to reverse when obstructed, causing property damage or injury
- Motors burn out from strain if doors are forced
- Short circuits developing, leading to potential fires
- Home and family security are being compromised as doors won’t operate reliably
- Unbalanced doors sagging, falling off tracks from unequal weight distribution
Proper sensor operation is imperative for safe, consistent access.
