Types of Garage Door Sensor Repair and Alignment Services We Offer in Denver, CO

  • Sensor Realignment

    Misaligned sensors are one of the most common causes of garage door malfunctions, including failure to close or reversing unexpectedly. Our technicians precisely adjust sensor positioning to ensure the infrared beam is properly aligned, restoring reliable and safe door operation.

  • Sensor Cleaning and Calibration

    Over time, dust, dirt, cobwebs, and other debris can block the sensor beam or reduce its sensitivity. We thoroughly clean and calibrate your sensors to ensure accurate detection, smooth door movement, and consistent safety performance.

  • Sensor Replacement

    If your sensors are cracked, broken, or outdated, we provide professional replacement with high-quality, compatible units. Replacing faulty sensors restores full functionality and helps prevent unnecessary wear on your garage door system.

  • Wiring and Electrical Repair

    Faulty wiring or loose connections can interrupt communication between the sensors and the garage door opener, leading to intermittent operation or safety failures. Our technicians carefully inspect, diagnose, and repair all wiring and electrical issues to restore reliable performance.

Warning Signs a Garage Door Sensor Needs Repair or Maintenance

  • If the sensor lights are blinking, it typically indicates misalignment, wiring problems, or an obstruction in the sensor’s path. Flashing lights are an early warning that your sensors are not communicating correctly and need attention to maintain safe door operation.

  • When your door begins to close but then instantly reverses, the sensors may be misaligned or partially blocked. This safety feature prevents accidents but also indicates that the sensors are not communicating properly and require adjustment or repair.

  • A garage door that refuses to close is often caused by completely failing sensors. This safety mechanism prevents the door from operating when the system cannot ensure a clear path. Professional inspection is necessary to restore full functionality.

  • If your garage door works inconsistently—sometimes closing and sometimes reversing or stopping—the sensors could be loose, dirty, or experiencing internal failure. Timely sensor maintenance or replacement ensures reliable, smooth operation and prevents further damage to the opener.
