About this service
Safety sensors are the two small eyes near the floor that prevent the door from closing on an object. If your door reverses immediately or the lights on the opener are flashing, the sensors might be misaligned, dirty, or have a loose wire. We check the alignment and wiring to restore your door’s safety features. This is a common issue that keeps the door from closing reliably. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
