A garage door sensor not working means the door stops short of closing, reverses back open, or refuses to move at all, and the opener is only doing what it's built to do — treating a blocked or misaligned safety beam as an obstruction. It isn't a door problem until the sensors are cleared and checked first. A fuller picture of 24 hour garage door repair Taylor Lake Village sits one level up from this page.

Garage door sensor not working — start with the beam, not the opener

Two sensors sit low on either side of the track, each one aimed dead-level at the other. When anything breaks that line — a box left in the path, glare through the garage door opening, or a sensor that's been bumped out of alignment — the opener refuses to let the door finish closing, or it starts down and reverses right back up. That single interruption explains most calls before anyone touches a spring, cable or track.
