How quickly can you fix my sensor issues?

In most cases, we can resolve sensor issues the same day you call. Our technicians arrive with the tools and replacement sensors needed for common repairs. Simple alignment issues often take just 15-30 minutes. If parts need to be ordered, we'll provide a temporary solution to keep your door operational and schedule the follow-up at your convenience. Our 30-minute response time means you won't be waiting long for help.

What causes sensor issues in garage doors?

Garage door sensor issues typically stem from several common causes: misalignment due to accidental bumps or vibration over time, dirt or debris blocking the sensor lenses, sun interference affecting the infrared beam, damaged wiring from pests or weather exposure, or worn-out sensors that have reached the end of their lifespan (usually 10-15 years). Sometimes it's as simple as dead batteries in wireless sensors. Our technicians diagnose the exact cause during their inspection.
