More about this in Katy

Why garage door sensor repair is often about millimeters
The two sensors have to see each other along a precise line, and even a slight bump from a stored bicycle or a broom leaning against the bracket can knock that alignment off enough to block the door from closing.
Humidity's effect on garage door sensor wiring
Katy's humid subtropical climate brings roughly 48 inches of rain a year on average, and that consistent moisture can work into sensor wiring connections at the bracket over time, causing an intermittent fault that shows up only in certain weather.
A garage door sensor repair for lens fog or glare
Direct sunlight hitting a sensor lens at certain times of day can trick it into behaving as if it's blocked, especially on garages facing a particular direction. Repositioning or shading the sensor slightly is sometimes all that's needed. Another page here goes into Katy garage door sensor not working help in the same detail.
Reading the garage door sensor indicator lights
Most sensor pairs have small lights that indicate alignment status — solid means aligned, blinking usually means the beam is blocked or the alignment has drifted. Checking those lights before touching anything narrows the repair fast.
Age and how often garage door sensors need attention in Katy
With Katy's median home built in 2010, original sensor units are old enough that wiring connections and lens clarity have both had years to degrade. A garage door sensor repair is usually a fast fix once the actual cause is identified.
