Understanding Garage Door Opener Sensor Alignment
We have to know that the garage door sensor is one of the important parts of the garage door for our safety and your family’s safety. Having the right tools is crucial for aligning garage door sensors, and these tools can be bought online or at local hardware stores. So we have to be very responsible and always check the safety sensors and their operation. Please read our tips:
- First, we have to install them at the same level so both sensors face each other. This is easier to do with a tape measure, which measures the distance from the floor to the bracket, i.e., the base for the sensor. This same distance should be on both sensors, so we recommend checking and monitoring this.
- Sometimes, the safety sensors get dirty, e.g., with cobwebs or dry tree leaves, which can stick to the sensors. These need to be removed and cleaned with a damp cloth, so check this as well.
- Sometimes extra items in the garage can get in the way. And we have a lot of them, we store a lot of stuff in the garage that we don’t use in the house. One of these items can get between the sensors and give an error on closing the door, like there’s an object between the sensors. Then you can’t close the garage door. That’s something you need to look at and monitor as well.
- . Also our customers hit the safety sensors with either a trash can or a car, so please always watch this and be careful. If this has happened, there are adjustment bolts on the sensors which can be used to re-adjust the safety sensors.
If, after all our tips, your problem still persists, please call us at Firstline Garage Door Repair for a free estimate.
