A garage door sensor won't close the door when the beam between the two sensor eyes is broken, misaligned, or the wiring between them has developed a fault. It's the opener doing exactly what it's designed to do — refusing to close on what it reads as an obstruction, real or not. The broader rundown of garage door technician Brookshire explains how these jobs get priced.

Call (346) 220-4724 to get the sensors realigned and the beam restored.

A garage door sensor won't close the instant that beam is interrupted, regardless of whether the obstruction is real or just a dirty lens.
