Garage Door Sensor Repair & Alignment

Those little photo-eye sensors near the bottom of your door tracks are a required safety feature — they stop and reverse the door if anything crosses the beam. When they drift out of alignment, get dirty, or fail, the door refuses to close and the opener light flashes to tell you so. WeFix Garage Doors repairs and realigns garage door sensors across Jacksonville, a fast fix for a very common headache.

Signs of a sensor problem

• The door won't close and the opener light blinks repeatedly
• The door starts down, then reverses on its own
• One sensor light is off or flickering
• Sensors knocked loose by a bag, bike, or vacuum
• The door only closes if you hold the wall button

Alignment, cleaning, and wiring

Most sensor issues are alignment or a dirty lens — the two eyes have to point straight at each other with a clear beam. Sometimes the culprit is a loose bracket, damaged wiring, sun glare, or a failed sensor that needs replacing. We diagnose which it is and correct it so the door closes reliably.

Never disable your safety sensors

It's tempting to bypass sensors that keep tripping, but they exist to prevent a heavy door from closing on a child, pet, or car. We fix the actual problem so you keep the protection instead of defeating it.
