Fix garage door sensor — New Orleans, LA

Before calling for service in New Orleans, you can inspect your garage door sensors for any visible obstructions or dirt that might be blocking the infrared beam. Check the opener's remote control to ensure the batteries are fresh and that the opener is receiving power. You can also visually inspect the springs and cables for any obvious signs of wear or damage, but do not attempt to adjust or repair these yourself. If these simple checks don't resolve the issue, it's time to call a professional.

In New Orleans, garage door sensors can be affected by humidity, dust, and even insect activity, leading to misalignment or malfunction.

Technicians will meticulously realign these sensors to ensure a clear infrared beam is established between them. This is a critical safety feature mandated by federal standards. We can ensure your sensors are functioning correctly.
