How quickly can you fix my sensor issues?

We understand that sensor issues can prevent your garage door from operating safely, which is why we prioritize these repairs. In most cases, we can diagnose and fix sensor problems the same day you call. Our technicians arrive with the most common sensor components on their trucks, allowing for on-the-spot repairs. Typical sensor fixes take 30-60 minutes once our technician arrives. If your sensors need replacement parts that we don't carry, we can usually source them within 24 hours. For emergency situations where your door won't close due to sensor problems, we offer same-hour arrival in our primary service areas.

What causes sensor issues in garage doors?

Garage door sensors can malfunction for several reasons, and understanding these can help prevent future issues: **Alignment Problems**: The most common issue. Sensors must face each other directly. Even small bumps or vibrations can knock them out of alignment. **Dirt and Debris**: Dust, cobwebs, and debris on the sensor lenses can block the infrared beam. Regular cleaning helps prevent this. **Sun Interference**: Direct sunlight hitting the sensors can interfere with the infrared signal, especially in the afternoon. **Wiring Issues**: Damaged or corroded wires, often from rodents or moisture, can cause intermittent or complete sensor failure. **Age and Wear**: Like all electronic components, sensors degrade over time. Most last 10-15 years with proper care. **Moisture**: Humidity and water infiltration can damage sensor electronics. Regular maintenance can catch many of these issues before they become problems. We recommend annual inspections to keep your sensors functioning properly.
