If your garage door starts to close, then reverses back up — or won't close at all while the opener light blinks — the safety sensors are the first thing to check. Those two small eyes near the floor stop the door from closing on people, pets and cars. When they're blocked, dirty or out of line, the opener refuses to close the door.
Tell us what the door is doing. We'll call you back.
First, make sure nothing is in the beam — a box, a broom, a bike tire or even a cobweb. Second, wipe both lenses with a soft cloth; Texas dust and pollen collect on them. Third, look at the small lights on each sensor. If one is off or blinking, the sensors are out of alignment.
If that doesn't fix it, the problem may be a loose bracket, damaged wiring, a failed sensor or an opener issue. We test the whole circuit, realign or replace the sensors and confirm the safety-reverse works before we leave. Never disconnect or bypass the sensors — they're a required safety feature.

Still have a question? Call us and talk to a technician, not a call center.
Usually the safety sensors are blocked, dirty or misaligned. If cleaning and clearing the path doesn't help, call us.
Holding the wall button overrides the sensors. That's a sign they aren't working and need repair.
Yes. Strong low sun shining into a sensor can confuse it. Repositioning or a sensor shade can help.
Sensor realignment is often included in a standard repair visit, and replacement sensors are quoted before we start.
No. They're a required safety feature that protects people and pets.
