Understanding Garage Door Sensor Functionality
When it comes to garage door safety, sensors serve as the primary defense mechanism against accidents and injuries. We’ve seen countless cases where understanding sensor functionality has guaranteed the prevention of serious accidents and costly repairs.

Common Issues with Garage Door Sensors
Through our extensive experience servicing garage door sensors, we’ve identified several recurring issues that homeowners frequently encounter. Misalignment stands as the most common problem, often caused by accidental bumps or environmental factors. We regularly address sensor obstruction issues, where debris, spider webs, or stored items interfere with the sensor range.
Electrical problems also frequently arise, including loose wiring connections and weather-related damage to sensor components. When performing sensor testing, we often discover that sun glare can temporarily blind the sensors, particularly during sunrise and sunset hours. Additionally, we find that aging sensors may develop intermittent functionality issues, causing your garage door to reverse unexpectedly or fail to close properly. These problems typically worsen in the Lowcountry’s humid climate.
