Sensor Alignment
When do I need to align my garage door sensor?
The amber light on the sending sensor will glow regardless of alignment or obstruction. (Meaning this light will always be on no matter what) If the green light on the receiving sensor is off, dim, or flickering (and the invisible light beam path is not obstructed) , alignment is required.
Aligning your Gargae Door Sensor
The sensors are vital to your garage door opener. If it gets the signal to open or close, it’s going to do so no matter what. If there’s something or someone in the way, you want them to avoid getting hit with the door. You don’t want to dent your car or worse, hit someone with the door. When the sensors are working correctly, you won’t need to worry about this.
With decades of training in the field, all of our technicians are uniquely qualified to provide service to your home. Not only that, our dedication to superior care means that we can help you with emergency repair 24/7/365. Though it may be tempting to fix a broken spring on your own, we highly recommend turning to a team with expert training. This is due to the increased risk of flying torsion springs or a falling door.
It’s also important to discontinue use of automatic doors when you have broken springs. Even if you only have damage to a single spring, the risk is still there.
