Fixing garage door sensor alignment involves ensuring the photoelectric eyes at the bottom of the door tracks are perfectly level and facing each other. If the sensors are misaligned, the door will not close completely, or it will reverse its motion. This often happens if the sensors are bumped or knocked out of position. The process usually involves loosening the sensor mounts and adjusting them until an indicator light on the receiving sensor shows a solid connection, signifying proper alignment. This is a critical safety feature. We can recalibrate your sensors for optimal safety.

Garage door sensor alignment is a crucial safety procedure that ensures the photoelectric eyes, located near the bottom of the garage door tracks, are precisely aimed at each other.

Worn or damaged rollers can cause the door to become noisy, stick, or even derail. Regular inspection and lubrication of rollers are essential for maintaining the door's functionality. We can replace worn rollers to restore smooth operation.
